The Exporting Orders screen allows you to configure export formats that will be used when exporting from certain sections of UltraCart. This allows for integration with a merchant's existing legacy back office accounting and shipping systems. UltraCart provides a variety of flexible export configuration options to meet the needs of a wide variety of merchants.

Exporting Orders

There are two columns in the field mapping screen; Field and Name (optional). A third column will sometimes appear for custom values (explained later).
Field Name | This column allows you to select the field(s) you want exported and in what order. Simply select each field in the order desired as you go down the column. If you populated all boxes and need to add more, click the "add more fields" button in the title bar. |
|---|---|
Add all Fields | You can populate the Field column with all of UltraCart fields by clicking the "add all fields" button located in the title bar. |
Filed Names in first row (checkbox) | This feature, when checked, will place the Field name or optional name (if configured) in the first row of the exported file. This is very helpful for merchants that import into an existing data base file and need to match up the fields. |
Name (optional) | This field allows you change the Field Name to one of your liking in the output (exported) file. Type the name for each field you want to change in the text box to the right. |
Custom Value* (optional) | The first field listed in the drop-down list for the Field Column is "Custom". You can add several Custom Value fields anywhere you chose. When selected, the Name column will shift to the right making room for a new column and text box. Here you can enter any data that you want to appear at that specific point in every record. It will not become part of the UltraCart Order record, only the export. |
Below is an example where the merchant configured (mapped) the export to insert 2 Custom fields; a Depot Number at the beginning of each record and a "Department Code" just after the Shipping Date field.
