Selecting options for updating data when re-importing

From now on, you have a function available in materialManager with which you can easily import type information from other software systems, such as an ERP system, an industry solution or an ordering or storage system. This enables you to easily transfer master data from existing systems.

The import can also be carried out repeatedly in order to apply updates from other systems.

For a description of the procedure, see the section [Importing Material Types.](/v1/docs/en/materialmanager-tutorial-importieren-von-materialtypen)
