# How do I import Supplies in Swept?
## Learn how to import your Supplies using the data imports feature.
This functionality is **ONLY** available in the Scale and Loyalty plans. To upgrade your plan, [click here](https://sweptworks.com/compare-plans?hsLang=en).
#### **How to prepare your data?**
🎯 Before importing Supplies, ensure your SUPPLIERS have been set up in Swept. To learn how to set up SUPPLIERS, [click here.](https://knowledge.sweptworks.com/knowledge/how-to-manage-suppliers-and-supplies?hsLang=en)
Setting up your spreadsheet in preparation for importing your data is key.
1. Go to **Supplies** on the left-hand navigation.
2. Admin Managers will see an option to **Import Supplies**.
3. Download the import file for Supplies here: [Supplies Import File](https://files.sweptworks.com/Swept+Customer+Data+Imports+Template+-+Supplies.xlsx)
4. Save the file as a .CSV file after it has been downloaded. For instructions on how to save as a .CSV in Excel and Google Sheets [click here.](https://knowledge.sweptworks.com/knowledge/how-do-i-import-supplies#Save_CSV)
5. Do NOT edit or remove any cells in this file **except the row with the sample data**. All data in the header columns must not be edited.
6. Columns with an \* are mandatory. If you attempt to import the file without these fields completed, the file import will generate an error "mandatory information missing".
7. The **Supplier** field is required and must be entered exactly how it was added to Swept.
8. You can add supplies with duplicate names so be careful you are not entering duplicates! If you add a duplicate supply you can manually delete it. You can only restore a deleted supply by manually adding it back.
#### **How to import the data?**
- Log in to the [Swept Web App](https://app.sweptworks.com/).

Please note if all mandatory fields are not filled out you will only see the mandatory fields error. If you import a file with all mandatory fields filled out but other issues then additional errors will appear.
#### **How to save a file as a .CSV in Excel?**
