# Order CSV File

With the Import Orders action, you can load orders from any ERP system by importing an order CSV file. The CSV (comma-separated values) file format contains plain text data separated by commas, with each line representing an order line. The file name without the extension will become the order identifier: Order-12345.csv would generate a new order with the Order-12345 identifier.

To be a valid order CSV file, the file must follow these rules:

• The file name without the extension should be unique and have no existing order with the same identifier.
• The first line of the file should be the header line with the name of the columns separated by a comma: Item,Quantity.
• The Item column values must match an existing kit or part identifier.
• The Quantity column values are whole numbers greater than zero.

Example of a valid CSV order file named Order-12345.csv

Item,Quantity
Part-1,5
Part-2,10
Part-3,15
Kit-1,5
Kit-2,5
Part-1,5

Will generate this order:
