Thanks Joe ,
After reading this post you attached , I checked it before , as I understood this method is for 1:1 product : inventory ( relation )

And as I’m developing inventory solution for a resturant I have more than 400 inventory item and recipes combined from the inventory items

And as I checked in the post , the php file that is used to import CVS file is only allowing direct inventory item name for a product , as I said 1:1

I was thinking using SQL Managment sutdio to open database and insert my inventory items there

Recipes would be complex I expect, if it’s just the items ready to create recipes within samba it might be achiveable

Yes it is achivable by samba , now I’m seeking to import the inventory items “some how” , the method you attach in link will not help for the current situation cause it seems that is only importing one inventory item for each product , if some one familiar with SQL database Managment sutdio can show me how I can edit inventory tables from there so I can import directly the 400 items

Buy the time you have waited for an answer and messed arround testing you could have just added the 400 inventory items :stuck_out_tongue:

In v5 you can use YAML to import but your using v4 so that’s a shame. There is no real easy way.
