Note: On 1 September 2024, JTL introduced new editions that bundle most of the previous individual services into different packages. In order for you to continue working as smoothly as possible, existing customers were automatically switched to the package configuration that best matched their existing contract. The individual packages differ in terms of limitations and/or range of functions. Therefore, some of the features described in the JTL-Guide may not be available to you as part of your booked JTL edition. You can change your package configuration in your JTL customer account. Find out more about the new editions and packages here. Check our FAQ for frequently asked questions about the product editions.

This checklist should assist you in the preparation and follow-up of the update to JTL-Wawi 1.6. Please keep in mind that we cannot consider every special feature specific to your online business and your JTL-Wawi configuration in this checklist.
Make sure to allow for enough time!
Ideally, you should carry out the update at the weekend or after working hours. In our experience, there will be a lot of smaller and larger changes that you do not expect and that might force you to rearrange your day. It might also prove beneficial to use a test system!
Reducing duration of update: To reduce the duration of the update, we recommend carrying out the update directly on your server. Otherwise, all data, such as images or SQL commands, must first be loaded onto your client, which can be quite time-consuming.
JTL-Hosting:
If your JTL-Wawi SQL database is hosted by JTL, we ask you to perform the update during our support hours. The reason for this is that you cannot perform a manual restore yourself, which means that only JTL can restore a backup if necessary.
Attention: The update to JTL-Wawi 1.6 includes some automatic changes to certain data. Carefully read the following sections of the documentation, in order to be well prepared for these changes and to take appropriate precautions if necessary.
Changes to data
Credit card details are not imported.
Credit card data is deleted from JTL-Wawi to comply with the rules for processing credit card transactions. Credit card data from JTL-Shop will be discarded and no longer stored. Credit cards that have already been saved will be deleted from the database.
Stock levels of simple variations are no longer supported.
Stock levels of simple variations, i.e. variations for which no separate child items have been created, are no longer supported. When updating to JTL-Wawi 1.6, the stock levels are deleted from the respective items. The stock levels are automatically exported during the update and saved locally to the desktop. To indicate the correct stock levels of your variations, you need to create child items. Also read the documentation for Creating variation items.
The output templates Warehouse packing list and Packing list are no longer supported.
The output templates Warehouse packing list and Packing list are no longer supported and will be deleted when updating to JTL-Wawi 1.6. They are replaced by pick lists in JTL-Wawi. Read more about pick lists here.
Sales order attributes become Custom fields
Sales order attributes become Custom fields and will automatically be converted to Custom fields during the update to JTL-Wawi 1.6. Read more about Custom fields here.
Before the update
Note for sellers with the Express Version: The database size of the Express version is limited to 10GB. After updating to JTL-Wawi 1.6, the database size can increase by more than 30%. Check the size of your database and ensure that sufficient storage capacity is available.
