Generating random item ID's
To generate random item IDs to import into the system, you can use any free code generator online, such as https://www.couponcarrier.io/code-generator/.
Once you have generated the random item IDs, you can input them into the item import template mentioned above and import them into the system.
Note: Ensure that the codes you use are in lowercase letters and numbers only to avoid errors while importing.
