New Channels Imported Orders Tab


The [ Channel | Imports ] screen serves two key purposes:

  1. When you first connect your channel, Khaos Control will identify all orders from the last few weeks and display them on the orders tab. There is a high probability that you will have already processed some, if not all of these orders. Using this screen you are able to locate the orders that have already been processed prior to integrating with Khaos Control and mark them as Ignore. For more information, please see How To: Manage the First Import of Sales Orders from your Channel.
    Note: when first connecting to your channel, it is important that the Don't import orders option is ticked against the [ Channels | Detail | Setup ] tab.
  2. After the initial import, the [ Channel | Imports ] tab allows you to view the orders that have been successfully imported and investigate any import failures.
