Creating consignments in OmniParcel using the bulk upload module

 

The bulk upload module allows the user to create consignments in batch using a bulk upload format.

 

NOTE: A bulk upload file can not include any quotation marks anywhere in the file, e.g., 8” denim shorts. This is due to the coding language used to process the file, so if there is a quotation mark the system will read this as code and it will cause the file to be unreadable by our system.

 

1. Uploading your Bulk Upload order file directly into OmniParcel

  1. Create your bulk upload file using one of our templates. To find our latest templates go to https://omniparcel.com/bulkuploadv2 and download a template under “Download bulk upload template”

  1. Login to https://www.omniparcel.com using your login credentials.

  2. To import into OmniParcel, click Bulk Printing and then select Bulk Upload.

  1. Select your required import type from the “Import type” dropdown list

  2. To upload your bulk upload file click on “Choose file” in the “Select import file” field and click “Import”

 

2. Uploading your bulk upload file via email

3. Error management

  1. Once you upload the file the system will process the file. On the right hand side next to the file name you will see the results and the system will show you how many consignments have been successfully processed, as well as how many consignments failed due to errors.

  2. To resolve the errors, click on the below icon (the “review” button) towards the right hand side of the screen:

 

  1. This will list out the different error message and tell you on what line/row in the file the errors were found.

  2. To fix the errors, select the errors you want to resolve using the tix box, then click on the “Start Fixing Errors” button to fix the errors.

  1. This will bring up each error message one by one, including all the information that was included for that consignment in the file. Update the required information according to the error message, and click on “Revalidate and Save”.

    1. NOTE: If you want to void a consignment with an error, you can click on the “void me” button to the delete connote.

  2. Below are some example of different types of errors:

Error 1

Error 2

  1. Once you click “Revalidate & Save”, OmniParcel will attempt to process the consignments again. If it says 0 under “Errors” it means you have resolved all the errors.

 

 

4. Printing - SEKO bulk upload & print format

  2. Select all the connotes that you want to print and click on “print selected”. The system will send all selected connotes to your preconfigured printer to print the labels. There are some useful filters at the top that you can use to filter the consignments by SKU, Category, Carrier, Service and Reference.

  1. If your OmniParcel account is configured to print to a printer, the labels will then be printed. Your screen will show a progress bar and display the labels it has just printed.

  1. Below are Example Labels that can be printed. The system is designed as a ‘best-choice’ multi-carrier platform, depending on the final delivery destination, the appropriate delivery provider label will be printed.
