User should be aware that how data is entered into the spreadsheet and imported will be how it directly correlates to the CAS and POS. So if a UPC has a space before the numbers it will upload with that space and will not be readable from a barcode.
User who aren't comfortable with creating an import should look at entering items through the Creating an Item
