This function allows you to import a tender into the store you are currently logged into. To access it, choose Supplier > Import tender from the menus. A window will open for you to select the import file (details given below). Browse to the file and double-click on it or click on it to select it then click on the Open button to carry out the import.
mSupply will then read the import file and create a suggested status (sg) tender with a default, system-generated description (which you should change later) and add the lines in the spreadsheet to the tender. The tender will then be automatically opened for you to continue editing.
