When importing orders or receipts, there are currently two options each for import—'Flex Header' import templates and the standard import templates.

Understanding the Differences

• Flex Header allows for more flexibility editing headers and flex fields to come in receivers and orders.
  • Receiver and Order
  • All headers that are present must be used.
  • You have to save in a header-based text tab.
  • Benefits
    • Order - can import something as incomplete
    • Both - can save both types of custom fields: the saved elements on the order - applies just to the order) or line item saved elements (ex. Gross Weight, anything you need to apply a data value to that the system doesn’t already account for)
    • Both - Custom fields capture custom information in two ways: to include additional information under the Custom Order Info section on a transaction, or for the addition of a transactional line item when you want to have additional grid columns. (Customers > Custom Fields - where you create them and make them optional/mandatory)
    • Custom fields purpose: create custom, trackable data field throughout the system - can get custom reports made - used in EDI
• Standard templates are not flexible.
  • You only have to use the blue headers.
  • All have to save in text-tab delimited with no headers.
  • Item Alias -
