If I read the docs correctly, you can only import orders that have already an order id assigned to them? Is there anyway to import new orders?

The functionality is for new orders that are generated on an organization specific program can be exported from that program, and then imported as a new order to Ubercart.

Possible using this module? If so, how?

Thanks

Title: Importing orders » Add ability to import new orders
Version: 5.x-1.0 » 6.x-1.x-dev
Component: Documentation » Code
Category: support » feature
Status: Active » Postponed

When I first began working on this project, I too was confused. You are correct, this module does not currently allow orders to be imported, only updated. This issue will be postponed for now until 6.x-1.0 is released which will only include bug fixes. We can take another look at this issue after 6.x-1.0 is released.

My clients have sponsored work mainly focusing on the export process and I have not received any patches improving the import process. I have had very few of my clients sponsor work on the import process, so that section of code has not changed much since the 5.x version. Currently, this issue has been pushed back to after a Drupal 7 version of the module is released.

re: #3... In other words... the import can update existing orders but not create them?

goatvirus,

Yes, the import process has very limited capabilities but it can update some information on orders. Please review the README.txt file that comes with the module for more information.

Cheers,

Antoine

I am voting for this also. We import new orders from fulfillment houses and cannot find a clean way to do it from the supplied CSV or xlsx files.
