The Supplier Data Manager (SDM) platform supports a variety of file formats to accommodate different use cases and data sources. Below are the details on the accepted formats for file uploads:
Input Files
Input files are those that will be loaded into Supplier Data Manager for processing. These files may originate from suppliers or other systems such as Product Information Management (PIM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software.

Important Considerations
- Single-Tab Files: SDM can read single-tab files, provided they meet certain conditions.
- Multi-Tab Files: SDM can also process multi-tab files, but specific conditions must be met.
- File Size Limit: The maximum file size for manual imports is 50 MB.
If your file exceeds this limit, you may encounter issues during the upload process. To avoid complications, consider splitting larger files into smaller segments or optimizing the file to meet the size requirement
