The import file must be an XML file.
Tags can be provided for creating or updating orders, language-dependent descriptions for orders, order line items, item shipments, other costs for orders or order line items, and language-dependent descriptions for other costs of orders or order line items.
Tags for costs are not provided. For each order that is inserted or updated, the total costs are automatically calculated.
Special feature for units (quantity, weight, volume, currency):
Unlike many code fields in Smart Materials, units are not required to be uppercase. Because this is not necessarily supported by all systems outside Smart Materials, units are processed as explained here.
First, the system tries to find the unit as it has been provided in the XML file. If this unit cannot be found, the system tries to find the unit using uppercase in the comparison.
