Order data is imported in the form of tab- or comma-delimited files. Before using the Orders Importer to import your files, be sure to back up your iMIS database. If your import fails, you can restore your original data from the backup copy; otherwise, you must manually delete each transaction in the imported batch.
When importing orders, you need to be aware of the following:
Product Status Codes
Only products with an Active status can be imported. If an order line's product does not have an Active status, the Importer will not import the order line, and the order line will be inserted into an error log along with any other order line failures. No other order lines will be affected; the Importer will process the order's remaining order lines.
Payments
The iMIS Orders Importer does not support entering multiple payments. Only single payments can be imported.
Freight Charges
If you want freight charges to calculate automatically for an imported order, you must enable the Automatic Calculation of Freight Charge and Freight by Weight options on the Add-on Charges window (from Orders, select Set up module, and click ). The Orders Importer does not support the Freight by Total Value Ordered or Freight by Total Quantity Ordered options.
Multiple Warehouses
The iMIS Orders Importer supports Multi-Warehouses when the Enable Multi-Warehouses option is enabled on the Inventory System Setup window (from Orders, select Set up module, and click ).
If the Enable Multi-Warehouses option is disabled, the Importer will ignore any warehouse location entered when an order is imported. The Importer then determines whether the product is a stock item:
If the Enable Multi-Warehouses option is enabled, the Importer first verifies whether the product is a stock item:
