F) Bulk Mark Ship
The Bulk Mark Ship tool is used to upload tracking information for one or more orders at once for any sales channel. Once tracking is uploaded the tool pushes the tracking to its appropriate sales channel, and the order is marked as fulfilled. The upload can be done by either uploading a CSV file or with a simple copy and paste of the info contained in the CSV file. Note: When using this tool ALL items of an order will be marked with the tracking that is uploaded.
- Select Bulk Mark Ship from the CommerceBlitz Tools Menu (three horizontal lines stacked on top of one another).
- The Bulk Mark Ship tool will open in a new tab.
- To prepare the format of the upload, create a new CSV/Excel file with column headers on the sheet in the following order: Order ID, SO #, PO #, Date Shipped, Tracking Number, Carrier, and Service Level. *Be sure to format cells to text to prevent tracking numbers from converting to scientific notation.
- After the cells have been formatted to “Text” and the headers are filled, you can begin to fill out the fields. Enter the date of the shipment in military time in the following format: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm. It is best to copy and paste a tracking number directly from the carrier to avoid typing errors, making sure that no blank spaces are copied along with the tracking number.
Pro Tip: Only one of the unique identifiers, Order ID or SO #, is required for the upload, however more may be necessary to specify exactly which item shipped.
