Inventory Import and Export

Lavu's Inventory system supports import and export functionality. Importing will assist you in transferring your existing inventory item list from a spreadsheet into your Control Panel.

Note: Please be advised that after importing is complete, new inventory items must be assigned to the menu as ingredients before the system can deduct from item stock with each sale.
