Bevica-specific import rules

When importing items which are duty controlled, if you make any changes to the B-DM-ITEM template, make sure that you:

  • include the Alc. % Vol, Unit Volume and Duty Code fields and all are ticked to be validated

  • ensure the Alc. % Vol and Unit Volume fields are before the Duty Code

  • do not include the Duty Controlled field - this will be populated by the system as part of validating the Alc. % Vol, Unit Volume and Duty Code
