ok so after many many hours and many many trials and errors... i finally
have an inventory import process that is including my image import process
and the only thing needed for input is ONE very small csv file, and other
files that are generated automatically from said csv file so i am happy...
this will save my fingers and wrists countless pains through automation

I wanted to include shipment receipt along with the item id and and item id
details so i could see the various lots that i was adding of the incoming
parts into the database

fwiw the order for just those three ids is
InventoryItem
ShipmentReceipt
InventoryItemDetail

it must go in that way because of the key structure?  idk but where can i
look, i.e. what folder would kind of give me an idea of that tree
structure, because i have an idea i will want to start including other
things and it was pita to figure out that i couldnt have the same
inventoryid twice but i could have the same receiptid as many times as i
wanted, im sure there was some glorious reasoning for that, and maybe if i
actually read the code i could semi understand it, but where could i go for
a hint as to what some of the constraints are... or is this just a trial
and error sort of thing

thanks again

Chris
