In the left hand window pane, you will see the products imported from VR Kitchens and when you click on a product, on the right hand side are the EQ equivalents.

 

Products that appear in red do not currently match up with the EQ catalogues. Click on a red product and then click Search from the toolbar.

 

You will then be able to use the Product Details screen to select an appropriate alternative. When you select the product, you will be asked if you would like to link this product in the future. Answer "Yes" and you will have less matching to do manually in the future.

 

Press Yes and the selection will be remembered next time you import.

 

When you have finished click the Import Products button at the bottom of the window. All the products will be added to your quotation. You can continue to work with this quotation in the usual way by editing, saving, closing etc.

 

Note:  Whilst importing you may encounter some prompt boxes, such as a door selector or a screen to choose an appliance cover. Choose the relevant options to continue to the quotation screen.
