We use the physical items export procedure at regular intervals in the form of a CSV file (comma-separated text file). Official documentation :

see “Export Physical Item” section

The CSV file is inconsistent: fields are sometimes surrounded by quotation marks, sometimes by French quotation marks (guillemets), sometimes by quotation marks and French quotation marks (guillemets), and sometimes by nothing at all. This causes problems for some of the analysis programs we use in post-processing.

We would like to see one improvement:
-A compliant CSV file: quotation marks systematically surrounding each field.
-Can we have the option to export in another format: TSV format (tab separator), or Excel format (XLS or XLSX).
