Import for update only, don't create new products

[timlight10]

Hello, my vendor sends a daily price and inventory file with every single SKU they sell. I do not sell all of their products, but a smaller amount of them. Is it possible to run a product import on this file that only updates the pricing/availability for the products that already exist in my store without creating new products for those that don't exist?

The size of the file is thousands of products.

Hello.
Please attach example of CSV

The file contains confidential information, so I cannot post it here. It's just a standard CSV file with model numbers, SKUs, descriptions, prices, costs, etc... like I've used to import products dozens of times before.

I am looking for an AbanteCart feature, if one exists, during an import of the CSV file, to only update model numbers/SKUs found in the store and NOT import any new products. Is this possible?

Hello.
AbanteCart supports two formats of CSV in one of them you can add Action column and control what to do with product

Thanks for the suggestion, I will take a look at that. I have always used the simple import function. I will look at the more explicit option.
