Review Order Validations
If you see the order highlighted in red it means that the Integration software has detected some invalid data in that order and as such cannot be exported to MYOB until the invalid data is corrected.
To see an explanation on the detected failed data click on the red exclamation mark icon that appear on the right end of the failed order.
This shows a pop-up screen with the list of errors detected for that order. Depending on the error things may have to be corrected either on the Configuration Screen of the Integration software, in BigCommerce or in your MYOB file.
In the example shown above the order shows two errors for the indicated product: it doesn't have a SKU and an Income Account. Both of them have to be corrected in BigCommerce by opening the product and completing that information. Once that is done in BigCommerce come back to the Integration screen and click the Retrieve Data button on the filter to refresh this list. The error should be gone now.
Select Orders to Export to MYOB
Only orders that are selected will be exported to MYOB. To select an order enable the tick box next to every order:
Valid orders will already be selected by default, so you will not need to select any order. If for some reason you do not want an order exported to MYOB, untick it.
At the bottom of the screen you will find a shortcut button to select all orders (
) and to deselect all (
) which may become handy at times.Export Orders to MYOB
Once your orders are selected click the Export Selected button located at the bottom of the screen. This will start writing your orders in MYOB as sales along with the customers cards and items involved in those orders. A progress bar will show the progress of the exporting process. Please wait until this process is finished.
If all orders are exported successfully you will see the following notification:
Note that the status of all exported orders shows the "Success" status with a green icon.
Now you should be able to find these orders in MYOB under the Sales Register.
Details of one order:
Notice how the order handling and order wrapping are exported as additional items.
You should also be able to see the new customers in your Customer Card list and the products included in these orders in your Items list.
Check for any errors after exporting
The Integration tool validates as much information in the orders as possible before exporting them to MYOB. However, there are some validations that will require to be validated at the moment of being exported. So after you click on the Export Selected Orders button you may see errors in some orders.
Similarly to validations before exporting, click on the red exclamation mark to display an explanation on what went wrong with those invoices and fix those errors before trying again.
