Order CSV Files

This page describes the file format of the order CSV files. For information on how to import these files into the Kaufland marketplace, see the Managing Orders page.

Overview

One way to manage orders is with order CSV files.

You can import files by uploading the file to a publicly accessible web server and sending a POST request to the /import-files/order-command REST API endpoint.

Order Command Files

Order Command files are a kind of CSV file without a header line at the top. Instead, the first field of each line contains a command and the subsequent fields vary based on the command. Because of the lack of a header, the subsequent fields must be in the expected order. The correct fields and order for each command is listed below. Kaufland marketplace accepts two different commands in order command files. Every command consists of both required and optional fields.

Here are the available commands:

Command Description
MARK_UNIT_SENT Mark an unit as sent.
MARK_UNIT_CANCELLED Mark an unit as cancelled.

MARK_UNIT_SENT

The MARK_UNIT_SENT command marks an item as shipped. This starts a background process which sends an email to the customer and (provisionally) transfers credit for the sale to the seller's account.

Field Required Description Example
id_order_unit Required The id_order_unit received in the order summary. 56896348978
carrier_code Required The shipping carrier that was used to send the item. The list of available codes is available in the Carrier Codes section of this page. If you cannot supply a tracking number for some reason, do not choose the Carrier Code, because then the tracking number field is mandatory. Instead, give the value Other or Other Hauler for the carrier. This changes the tracking_number field from required to optional.
For example, if you have shipped the package via DHL, but sent it book rate (Büchersendung), there is no tracking number for the package. So, you would specify Other for the carrier_code and leave the tracking_number field blank.		 DHL
tracking_number Required unless carrier_code is Other or Other Hauler Comma-separated list of tracking numbers of the package. AB34DE5,6ED43BA

MARK_UNIT_CANCELLED

The MARK_UNIT_CANCELLED command cancels the delivery of an item. This starts a background process which sends an email to the customer and transfers credit for the sale back to the customer's account.

Field Required Description Example
id_order_unit Required The id_order_unit received in the order summary. 56896348978
reason Optional Reason for cancelling the order. The list of available reasons is available in the Cancellation Reasons section of this page. NoInventory
