# How to Bulk Upload Multiple Vendors in XTEN-AV?

**Overview**

The Bulk Upload feature in XTEN-AV allows users to add multiple vendors simultaneously by uploading a CSV or Excel file. Instead of creating vendor records individually, users can upload a completed file to create multiple vendor entries in one step. This simplifies vendor management, reduces manual data entry, and saves time when setting up vendor records.
