Ok, The problem is when i click the batch update Button in Inventory i get  
this link ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/2X/3/395913810bd0643eb6801186e5c2da66bd2e8f5c.png)  
But when i click the link, instead of creating an excel template for me it  
save a TSV file which cannot be saved or opened in excel. That is excel is  
not available as the save as type only TSV

TSV can be opened in excel, open a new excel sheet and just drag and drop the TSV file into the excel sheet, it will create a new excel sheet with your data ready to be used.

Manager doesn’t create excel files straight. You will get a TSV which you will send into excel (by dragging and dropping, that what I do)

I hope you got me right
