Bulk actions best practices

Some important things to keep in mind while performing bulk actions in Infoplus:

  • Avoid the busiest times of the day, if possible

  • Abide by guidelines regarding size of batches: https://www.infopluscommerce.com/knowledge-base/bulk-load

  • Try not to have multiple jobs running consecutively.

  • If you will be repeatedly making the same type of imports (orders, ASNs, etc.), create and use a bulk load profile to save time on setting up mapping of data.

These best practices may seem like they will make your jobs take longer, but they will actually assist in getting your records loaded/edited faster. Infoplus developers have lots of plans to make this functionality even faster in the future!

The bulk load profile is definitely key to being efficient. When we do our bulk load the criteria is pretty consistent. If you keep up with your profiles, it just gets faster and faster.

I couldn’t agree more. It’s interesting that you mention keeping up with your profiles because it’s easy to overlook that aspect and thus important to get the most of that function.
