Import Inbound Orders

Imported Inbound Orders will appear alongside other inbound orders in Footprint for review and management purposes.

Please Note

For the most comprehensive import, we recommend downloading the latest export file with up-to-date features and fields.
The import process is intended for creating new records. Enter as many details as possible when importing, as attempting to update existing records will result in an error.
All date values must follow the MM/DD/YYYY format. If the spreadsheet contains dates, please double-check they are formatted accordingly before proceeding with the import process.
Imports are limited to 5000 lines. Please break down larger imports into files with no more than 5000 lines.
