Imported result

 
 

After upload, Imported value should be equivalent to number of rows (Fixed Prices) you have uploaded.

If system display Skipped: value more than 0, it means some rows have been set up incorrectly. To correct it, the easiest way would be to use option Delete all DATA, correct the file and upload it again.

 

- Delete all DATA – deletes all existing Fixed Pricing. Very useful if you have lots of unneeded pricing and you want to remove it. Use with care as deleted data can not be recovered.
