# Import and Delete Inventory in Bulk Using Omnichannel Inventory

Add inventory, update existing records, and delete records in bulk instead of using APIs or adding records individually. Modify records using either a CSV or JSON file.

- **[File Format Guidelines for Modifying SKUs with Omnichannel Inventory](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.inv_import_bulk_guidelines.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Use a CSV or JSON file to import, update, or delete SKUs. When you construct the inventory file, specify column headings that correspond to location, SKU, quantity, and availability information. If other fields are included, they’re ignored. We recommend that you use the provided sample CSV filei.
- **[Cap Safety Stock](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.inv_safety_stock_cap.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Safety stock acts as a buffer to control a location’s inventory and reduce the risk of running out of stock. Although safety stock works on a location level, it aggregates up to the group level and can impact other locations in the group. A safety stock quantity that exceeds a location’s on-hand stock can limit the available stock across the network when it aggregates to the group. Prevent underselling by capping your safety stock to prevent it from exceeding on-hand counts.
- **[Import or Delete Inventory with a CSV or JSON File](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.inv_import_bulk_csv.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Use the Omnichannel Inventory app to add, update, or delete inventory in bulk. You can use either a CSV or JSON file that contains the inventory SKUs.
