# Importing DATANORM Files

- [Import Process](https://docs.solutioo.de/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/importing-datanorm-files/import-process.md): The core workflow of every import: from the file through staging to items, prices and BOMs.
- [Manual Import and Vendor Assignment](https://docs.solutioo.de/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/importing-datanorm-files/manual-import.md): Read a DATANORM file in manually and decide which vendor it belongs to.
- [Automated SFTP Import](https://docs.solutioo.de/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/importing-datanorm-files/sftp-import.md): Have DATANORM files collected from an SFTP server automatically, processed and archived.
- [Reviewing and Approving Staging](https://docs.solutioo.de/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/importing-datanorm-files/review-staging.md): Check the imported data, resolve duplicates, approve and transfer it into the item master.
- [Duplicates and Validation](https://docs.solutioo.de/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/importing-datanorm-files/duplicates-and-validation.md): How the app decides whether an article is already known – and how to avoid false positives.
- [Example Import](https://docs.solutioo.de/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/importing-datanorm-files/example-import.md): A complete walkthrough with sample files – from product groups to the price change.
- [Differences Between DATANORM 4 and 5](https://docs.solutioo.de/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/importing-datanorm-files/differences.md): Where DATANORM 4 and DATANORM 5 differ, and what that means for your imports.
- [Limitations](https://docs.solutioo.de/datanorm-item-import/datanorm_en_us/importing-datanorm-files/limitations.md): What the app deliberately does not cover – so expectations can be set early.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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/importing-datanorm-files.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.
