Add import of brand to productlist import #14

Closed Cor-Jan closed 11 years ago

Cor-Jan commented 11 years ago

at the moment the productlist import seems to ignore the brand of the product uploaded. sometimes a supplier has the same product available from two brands like "peanutbuttter with seasalt". to differentiate between these products (amongst other for creating a product id) and show members from which brand the product is (some members have strong preferences for their favorit brand of peanutbutter)

solution proposal Add import of brand into productlist in foodsoft but not making the brand a required field (because veggies usually do not have a brand)

Workaround: in a spreadsheet program, one can create a formula that concatenates product and brand name.

If a lot of work needs to be done repeatedly on import, it may be better to write a specific import format for the supplier that does this. Or write a more 'generic' import filter. On hold for now.

Perhaps you meant an article's manufacturer field? In that case, this is upstream foodcoops#140.
