    Creating import and export templates in the Fulfillment Portal

    Your task/initial situation

    Sie would like to batch import item data, inbounds or sales orders from your ERP system into the JTL-Fulfillment Network. The import can be done using an exchange file in CSV format. To do this, you need to create an import template once in which you link the export from your system with the fields in the JTL-Fulfillment Network. The same applies to the export of warehouse or shipping reports.

    Preparations

    • Before creating a template, create an export of the desired data from your ERP or shop system. On the detail pages for imports, you can see the minimum fields that the CSV file must contain for an import or export to be possible.
    • Importing via CSV is only possible if you do not use JTL-Wawi for item maintenance. In you do use JTL-Wawi, please read the instructions for Merchants with JTL-Wawi.
