# Quick Start

{% hint style="info" %}
Allow about 15 minutes. You need a vendor, an item number series and a DATANORM file from your supplier.
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Install the app

Install **DATANORM Item Import** from the marketplace. Details and licence notes under [Installation and Licence](/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/getting-started/installation-and-licence.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Run the setup wizard

Search for **DATANORM Setup Wizard**. It asks for the default vendor, DATANORM version, duplicate handling and item defaults. See [Setup Wizard](/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/getting-started/setup-wizard.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Initialise units

Open **DATANORM Setup** and choose **Initialize Units**. This creates the mappings from DATANORM units to BC units of measure. Without it, imported items get no base unit. See [Unit Mapping](/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/master-data-and-mappings/unit-mapping.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Import a file

In the role centre choose **Import DATANORM File**, upload the file and confirm the **vendor** in the dialog that follows. See [Manual Import and Vendor Assignment](/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/importing-datanorm-files/manual-import.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Review staging

Open the import session that was created and go to **Article Staging**. Check the imported lines and resolve any reported duplicates. See [Reviewing and Approving Staging](/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/importing-datanorm-files/review-staging.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Approve and synchronise

Approve the records and start synchronisation. Items, price list lines and BOMs are created now.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Check the result

Open one of the new items. From the import session you can also reach **Show Purchase Price List** and **Show Part Lists**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.solutioo.de/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/getting-started/quick-start.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
