Thank you for using the English version of the JTL-Guide!
We are currently still building up the English documentation; not all sections have been translated yet. Please note that there may still be German screenshots or links to German pages even on pages that have already been translated. This guide mostly addresses English speaking users in Germany.

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.

Creating an import schedule

Your task/initial situation

You would like to automate the import of CSV or ZIP files. To do this, you need to create an import schedule that checks at certain intervals whether there are new CSV or ZIP files that need to be imported.

Prerequisites

You create an export of your data at regular intervals, either as a CSV file or as a ZIP archive. In addition to the CSV file, the ZIP archive can also contain invoice and delivery note files for sales orders. For more information on this topic go here: Importing sales order data
You export the CSV or ZIP file to the same location at regular intervals. This location is accessible via an Internet protocol (e.g. FTP, HTTPS). A password may be required for this.
You have already created an import template to be able to import the file. Further reading: Creating an import template.

Creating an import schedule

Log in to the Fulfillment Portal with your access data (Go to FFN Portal).
Click on the menu item Data exchange. The page Data exchange opens.
Click on Import. The page Import schedules opens.

Creating an import schedule in the portal

Give the import schedule a name and select an import template. If you have not yet created an import template, please read the following page first: Creating an import template.
Under Protocol, select the protocol via which the file can be accessed. Depending on the protocol, new configuration options appear. Complete them so that the JTL-Fulfillment Network can access the file.

Please note: Under File path, enter the path on the server and the name of the CSV or ZIP file. Example: If the file is accessible via ftp://myserver.com/Exports/MyExport.csv, enter Exports/MyExport.csv here.

Under Import interval, select how often your CSV or ZIP file should be imported. Under Interval you enter the time interval between the imports; under Start on you can select the first day on which an import is to take place.
Save your import schedule. The import will now carried out regularly.
