The multiorders .csv tools allow you to create orders via import, update created or imported order information and finally export orders. If you are looking to create a custom template, please follow this guide and if you want to know how to use your newly created template, please read the guide here.

These are all the fields relating to basic order content information.

Order Number:

Optional when Creating orders. Mandatory when updating, cannot be changed.

If left blank the system will generate one or you can assign your own, but it must be unique. If a duplicate order number is found the system may attempt to update that existing order or will fail and log an error in the reports area.

Please be aware: We recommend using only digits when filling in custom Order Numbers. It is possible to use letters, but you will then need to create all order numbers manually. This is because the automatic Order Number generated after that will looks something like this "Aed07d10-8d72-11ec-8959-Ed71f0e48f55" instead of following your last order. If this does happen you can fix this by creating a new order that has digits only (i.e. 1000006).

Invoice Number

Optional when Creating orders. Optional when updating, cannot be changed.

You can assign your own number, or leave it blank and the system will generate one.

Order Created Date:

Optional when Creating orders. Optional when updating, cannot be changed.

This is used to assign a date to your imported order. The date format cannot be changed and must be YYYY/MM/DD. If no date column is provided, todays date will be used.

Mandatory when Creating orders. Optional when updating, cannot be changed.

The name of the ordered item. If the ordered item is successfully mapped, the name will be changed to the name as it is in your inventory turning into a blue clickable link, if the item does not map to anything the name will remain grey as written. Please note that you cannot add or remove order items to an existing order via .csv.

Item SKU:

Mandatory when Creating orders. Optional when updating, cannot be changed.

The ordered item SKU is used to map ordered items to your inventory.

SKU value is case sensitive - if you make a mistake and import an order with the wrong SKU, your order will be imported but inside it, instead of an actual product, there will be a greyed-out text item.

Mandatory when Creating orders. Optional when updating, cannot be changed.

Used to determine how many units of this specific item are in the order.

Notes:

Optional when Creating orders. Optional when updating, cannot be changed.

Payment Status:

Mandatory when Creating orders. Optional when updating, can be changed.

One of the two values must be written here: paid or un-paid, in exact same spelling. (If you change the payment status for an integrated sales channel, this will not update that sales channel and the info will be overwritten on next sync).

You can set the desired Deliver By Date for the created order. The date format cannot be changed and must be YYYY/MM/DD.

These fields specifically relate to information that is critical to shipping your orders.

Shipping Date:

Optional when Creating orders. Optional when updating, can be changed only when order status is being changed from New or In-Progress to Shipped.

If Carrier and Order Status changes are made to make the order Shipped, the system will use the current date of upload and assign that as Shipping Date.

The date format cannot be changed and must be YYYY/MM/DD.

This is the full list of available customer information that can be stored on an order.

Please be aware: All of the address field notes bellow say cannot be changed, but that is not entirely true. You can change them, but as soon as the marketplace syncs information it will overwrite all of that data to it's original (except Local orders).

All of the fields that are available for Order Import are also available for Order Export and work in the same way. Thats why in this area we will only cover data fields that are unique to the Order Export.

Weight (g):

This is the order total weight that has been saved during order import. It is saved once during import and does not update afterwards. Please Note: It will appear under every order item, but it will still be the total of the whole order. Also, it does not recalculate during Order Merge either.

These are all the extra fields you can export via Order Export, that are being taken from the inventory. This is the main reason why they cannot be imported back.

Handling Time:

This field is used to show the assigned handling time for individual order items. The field was originally created for Amazon products handling time tracking, but it can be manually added via the Inventory page for other marketplaces as well.

Marketplace Name:

This field shows which marketplace the exported order belongs to. Please be aware that all imported orders are assigned to the local marketplace only.

Category:

This field shows the assigned category for the ordered item.

Supplier:

This field shows the assigned supplier for the ordered item.

Brand:

This field shows the assigned brand for the ordered item.

Extra Info:

This field shows detailed variation info. Most commonly used when exporting orders for Etsy. This is because order items from those stores are typically missing key info in their product tittle.

Item Buy Price:

This exports the order items Buy Price that can be found in the inventory table.

Marketplace Credential ID

This is the marketplace integration identification number which can be found on the Integrations page under Connected sales channel integrations.

Additional information that can be added to the order export is the Main Warehouse details. We will not go over them each individually as they are self explanatory.
