Import a CSV file of product data so that Salesforce CPQ can convert it to quote line
items on your quote. This feature is useful if you need to quickly convert data from an external
source into line items within Salesforce CPQ. (Salesforce CPQ Managed Package)
Required Editions
Available in: Salesforce CPQ Winter ’15 and later
Important
You can upload only standalone products, not product bundles.
For Mac users, Salesforce CPQ supports importing lines from Excel saved only in the Comma
Separated Values (.csv) or MS-DOS Comma Separated (.csv) formats.
Salesforce CPQ may encounter errors when importing around 1,000 lines using the Import
Lines button. The exact number will vary based on user org settings. To import large volumes
of lines, we recommend using the Salesforce Data Loader or a batch loading tool.
From your quote’s detail page, click Import Lines.
Choose your CSV file format.
Salesforce CPQ shows a list of fields in Required CSV Column Headers. Make sure your CSV
file contains column headers with matching names.
If you’ve enabled your quote for grouping, choose an available group from the Quote Line
Group. If your quote doesn’t have a group yet, you can create one by selecting
Create New.
You can define only one group per CSV upload.
Click Browse Import File and choose your CSV file.
Remember, your CSV file column names should correspond to the column names in your import
format record.
Click Import.
Salesforce CPQ shows error messages for any lines that failed to import or for any
products that it couldn’t find in the database. Click Cancel to close
out the error messages and finish importing your products. Salesforce CPQ then returns you to
the quote line editor.
