Questions on Importing Data into X lInes

There are various notes in here on IMPORTING X LIne data into EXPLORIS - but it is still interesting to see how many CARQUEST jobbers do NOT know you can import the data --and they are manually keying in the data ... OMG
A question came up - we were lead to believe that ORDER POINTS could be added to the template ( after all it is ON the template !! ) -- it now turns out that order points are NOT ADDED, so that answers a new question we had -- on a PRICE CHANGE - what would happen when you change prices -- and left the order point column blank -- moot question for now.

The curious problem comes up on what do you do when a part becomes obsolete in the price update - we ran into this on a Truper Lawn Equipment update --so we changed the description to reflect it was 'DISCONTINUED 9-2010'. We new this because we took the original file and updated cost prices - so any part that did NOT UPDATE we knew was not a currently valid part #.
