Purpose: The goal is to allow for a simplified process of taking shipments out of an ERP system and having them created for rating and booking for shippers moving a higher volume of shipments using LTL Select.
How To Use The Order Integrations Feature
1. From the Main Menu located at the uppermost left corner, select Orders. A blank orders page will appear.
2. To upload your shipments to LTL Select, first click IMPORT. The “Import Orders by Location” window will appear.
3. Select the appropriate location for the order upload from the “Select Location” dropdown.
4. Click Download Sample CSV and save the file to your local drive. The sample file will be specific to the location and direction chosen - outbound versus inbound.
Using the Sample CSV file is not required. You may use your own CSV file to create and upload shipments. See step 7 on how to map your .csv to order details.
