HOW TO BULK INSERT JOBS

Before you start

Suffix- 3 letters for your job numbers

Your suffix is TCD.

Check your spreadsheet

Ensure the data is separated into columns. Red columns in the sheet are essential to be filled. Please ensure you have no special characters eg " + - *

Make a job number

You need a unique job number. It must contain letters and numbers. For example TCD0001 and TCD0002. TCD Is your suffix. You will have an order number. Your suffix of letters will be added onto the order number once it has been set for your account. Your job number column will be numbers with your suffix added once you have inserted the jobs. If you don't have a letter suffix, add your own to the sheet.

Once spreadsheet is complete, save the spreadsheet to your desktop

if you are on a flat rate for your box sizes, select A4 Satchel. If you have unique rate for each size, select the size applicable.

Step 10

Save as a template

If you are using the same format for your spreadsheets each time you can map this spreadsheet, save it as a template and use the template for your next upload. On this occasion we are using the same format each week and calling this Version 1.0 so next time the columns will map automatically.

Next time you can select the template and it will map the columns automatically

You do not need to save as a new template each time

Step 11

Map Columns - Job Number

Customer columns need to be matched to Urgent Columns. Select the drop down menu "Choose Field" and match it to Job Number. The system is trying to read the headings at the top of the spreadsheet you've inserted. In this case our Job Number column reads as "Job Order Number"

Step 12

Match the remaining columns

Match the columns. You are only required to match the fields that are not optional.

'Ref A and B' can be on your record for invoicing purposes. 'Our reference' will appear on the label as well as 'notes'.

Make sure that it maps for each column and recognises that 'Data Seems OK'

All columns should read Data Seems OK

If data can not be read it will say invalid data and you will have to refer back to the orginal spreadsheet file. Check the data has no special characters and that you have mapped the right column

Step 13

Optional columns

Optional columns are available for you to use- Tracking mobile and tracking email are needed if you would like your customers to have tracking capabilities. Notes are encouraged as delivery instructions for our couriers. The more detail we have the better

Step 14

Next time you upload
