Exporting Products from Actinic to Sage

[Jarvis]

I have a Client for whom we have built a V8 store.
This is successful and they now wish to install Sage Line 50.
I was assured, quite rightly, that the two products are compatible.
However, nobody seems to be able to tell me how to IMPORT the products into Sage.
(This would of course be a once only operation).
The Hierarchical exported CSV from Actinic is useless for this purpose.
It appears that the ONLY way to do this is by hand into Sage.
For some 2000 products, this is a nightmare.

I am stunned that according Actinic Support that this issue has never been raised before.
I cannot believe that I am the only person to have this issue out of 12,000 Actinic Clients!
Not only that but I have another client who has asked for the same facility.

Anybody help?

Hi there

Sage's SDO integration, which we use for passing order info over, is not available for creating new products, unfortunately. There is an import facility into Sage, but it's very basic. Check out this thread:

which features a discussion on this and an example sage import file to try.

Thanks Chris, I have posted my response to the thread you offered, (http://community.actinic.com/showthr...ht=sage+import).
It is longer standing and more developed than this one.
