## Features of ION Importers

The ION Importers provide bulk CSV import for manufacturing data. They give a spreadsheet-like interface where users upload files to create or update records:

- **Real-time validation** — validates data as users type (parts exist, locations valid, etc.)

- **Bulk operations** — import up to hundreds of records at once

- **Multiple entity types** — Parts, Inventory, Suppliers, Locations, Tools, BOMs, Purchase Orders, etc.

- **Update or create** — Inventory importer can update existing records or create new ones

- **Custom attributes** — supports custom fields per entity type
