Import pricing information to a requisition

Use the Import Requisition Pricing commands to import the pricing information that you want to use in the current requisition from a steelXML file or a Microsoft Excel worksheet. You can also import pricing from an email attachment that is either a Microsoft Excel worksheet or a steelXML file. New pricing information can be imported multiple times, if necessary.

Note that if you want to re-use the imported pricing information later, you also need to update the pricing information to a pricing database. For more information, see Update pricing information.
