File Import – Order

Written by Andrei Mogosanu

What is this import?

The Order import sends outbound orders to Access Delta WMS. The system uses this data to pick, pack, and despatch stock to customers.

You can create, amend, delete, hold, or add lines to existing orders. Each file can only contain one action type per order.

Package name: DeltaWMS IE Order Import V5 File format: CSV (header and detail lines in the same file)


Before you start

  • Each file can only contain one action (CREATE, AMEND, DELETE, HOLD, or ADDTO) per order

  • The HOLD action creates orders with a Held status — it cannot change the status of an existing order

  • All lines in an ADDTO file are treated as additions to the existing order

  • At least one of the four quantity fields (ITEM, PACK, INNER, or OUTER) must be present on each product line

Note: You do not need to include product line details if the action is DELETE and you are deleting the whole order.


Troubleshooting

If your import fails, check:

  • Account Code (Column 4), Expected Delivery Date (Column 28), and Order Code (Column 30) are present

  • At least one quantity field (ITEM, PACK, INNER, or OUTER) is on each product line

  • The file does not contain more than one action type for the same order

  • You are not using the HOLD action to change the status of an existing order
