The Batch Entry function allows you to create a text file containing one or more orders. When you upload the file, each order is verified and entered into the system as a parked order. You can upload a maximum of 1000 orders per submission. If your file contains more than 1000 lines, the file is rejected.
You can create the order file using a text editor or any software (word processor, spreadsheet, etc.) that can be saved in plain text format.
For instructions about how to format the batch file:
1. Click Orders on the menu bar.
2. Click Batch Order Entry.
