How Do I Populate the Template?
Use this template.
You can delete the columns that are not relevant for what you are uploading (e.g. revenue center, order type, etc.) and just leave the ones you will be filling.
Formatting:
-
Date Format:
- Always use: YYYY-MM-DD (e.g., 2024-08-01, 2024-12-30)
- Include leading zeros: 01, 02, etc.
-
Commas:
- Avoid commas: in all fields (Location, Date, Numbers)
- Reason: Commas can disrupt data loading, causing errors and delays.
-
Location Names:
- Keep consistent: Use the same names for locations across all sheets.
- Manual mapping: Changes to location names require manual updates.
- Notify in advance: If you plan to change location names/codes etc., please let us know ahead of time to minimise delays.
