How to correctly add labels/marks via Excel
How to correctly add labels/marks via Excel
Updated over 3 months ago

Please bare in mind only to use the Excel function when nobody is using xyxle from the UI. Using both xyxle UI and Excel may cause problems and will not provide a correct end result.

You have 3 fields in which you can declare for Labels:

  • M254: Brand

  • M372: Brand/Label Owner

  • M373: GLN of Brand Owner

M372, M373-> Are not mandatory fields, but they are dependent one to another. So you can not declare M372 without M373 and vice versa.

Please see below some simple cases when trying to add Labels/Marks via Excel:

Case 1

Fields in Excel

Declared in Excel

Not Declared in Excel

Result in xyxle UI

M254: Brand

M254: Brand

  • This field will be created in xyxle.

M372: Brand/Label Owner

M372: Brand/Label Owner

  • This field will NOT be created in xyxle.

M373: GLN of Brand Owner

M373: GLN of Brand Owner

  • This field will NOT be created in xyxle.

*M254 -> Is a mandatory field in order to create a Label/Mark. It can be created without M372 and M373.

Case 2

Fields in Excel

Declared in Excel

Not Declared in Excel

Result in xyxle UI

M254: Brand

M254: Brand

  • This field will be created in xyxle.

M372: Brand/Label Owner

M372: Brand/Label Owner

  • This field will be created in xyxle.

M373: GLN of Brand Owner

M373: GLN of Brand Owner

  • This field will be created in xyxle.

*If you declare all 3 fields, there this can not cause any errors.

Case 3

Fields in Excel

Declared in Excel

Not Declared in Excel

Result in xyxle UI

M254: Brand

M254: Brand

  • This field will NOT be created in xyxle.

M372: Brand/Label Owner

M372: Brand/Label Owner

  • This field will NOT be created in xyxle.

M373: GLN of Brand Owner

M373: GLN of Brand Owner

  • This field will NOT be created in xyxle.

*M372, M373-> Are not mandatory fields, but they are dependent one to another. So you can not declare M372 without M373 and vice versa.

Additional information:

  • If all fields are already declared in xyxle, they can NOT be modified through the Excel. You will need to do this from xyxle UI.

  • If you create a label from the Excel, and you declare it several times in the same document. The last time declared will be the one found in xyxle UI.

  • You will need to declare all 3 fields correctly(like in the xyxle UI) in the Excel for the article to be updated correctly. If one is missing or it's not correct, errors will occur.
