SKU mapping, demystified.

One-time setup. Every design after that is automatic.

1

Export your QuickBooks Item List

Lists > Item List > Export in QB Desktop, or Sales > Products and Services > Export in QBO. Save the file.

2

Upload it to KitchenAPI's SKU Mappings page

We accept CSV (RFC 4180 compliant) or JSON. The upload handles up to 100,000 items.

3

Smart-match suggestions appear

KitchenAPI auto-detects your common Cyncly SKU patterns and offers suggested mappings for the most-used items. You review and confirm.

4

Save and use

Future Cyncly XML uploads automatically use your saved mappings. Unmapped SKUs are flagged in amber so you can add them as you encounter them.

Time investment

Most dealers map their first 100 SKUs in under an hour. That covers 80% of daily volume. Add the rest as you encounter them in your weekly conversion runs.

Smart features

Bulk import from CSV

RFC 4180 parser handles quoted fields, embedded commas, edge cases. Duplicates flagged with exact row numbers from your source file.

Duplicate detection with row numbers

When your QB Item List has duplicate SKU codes (it happens), we flag them inline so you can clean them up.

Unmapped SKU digest

Daily report of the SKUs that appeared in your conversions but aren't in your mapping yet. Prioritized by frequency.

Match modes

Choose how strictly KitchenAPI matches Cyncly SKUs to your QuickBooks Items.

Exact

Case-sensitive, whitespace-sensitive. Use if your QB names are clean.

Case-insensitive

Ignores capitalization differences.

Normalized (recommended)

Lowercase + trim whitespace. The forgiving default that handles most edge cases.

Version history

Every save creates a new version of your SKU mapping. Audit log records which version was applied to which conversion. Roll back at any time if you make a mistake.
