Confirm multiple order dispatches with feeds

To confirm dispatch for multiple orders using the dispatch confirmation template, follow these steps:

1. **Download the Dispatch Confirmation Template:**

- Go to Seller Central.

- From the "Orders" menu, select "Upload order-related files."

- Under "1. Prepare your dispatch confirmation file," click "Download template."

2. **Review the Template and Instructions:**

- Open the downloaded template and navigate to the "Dispatch confirmation" tab.

- Review the instructions on the "Data definitions" tab, especially the "Accepted values" column and any important notes below the table.

- Familiarize yourself with the template's structure and requirements.

3. **Enter Dispatch Information:**

- Enter the necessary information for each order in the Dispatch confirmation tab.

- Ensure that all columns are set to "Text" format (including dispatch-date) to prevent Excel from removing leading zeros.

- Enter the dispatch date in the format: yyyy-mm-dd.

- Provide the actual dispatch-from address.

- For any updates to previous dispatch information, choose from the following options:

- "Overwrite previous data" to replace existing data.

- "Do not overwrite previous data" to leave existing data intact.

- "Delete previous data" by entering "NULL" in the field to erase previous data.

- If you are splitting an order into multiple deliveries, include the required fields (order-id, order-item-id, quantity, dispatch-date, carrier-code, carrier-name, dispatch-from-address) for each dispatch confirmation record.

4. **Save as a Tab-Delimited Text File:**

- Click "Save as" and select "Text (Tab-delimited) (*.txt)" from the file type list.

- If you see a warning about the selected file format not supporting workbooks with multiple worksheets, click "Yes" to proceed.

5. **Upload the Dispatch Confirmation File:**

- In Seller Central, go to the "Orders" menu and select "Upload order-related files."

- Under "Upload your dispatch confirmation file," click "Browse" to locate the saved template file.

- Select the file and click "Open."

- Finally, click "Upload now" to submit the dispatch confirmation file.

6. **Review Processing Report:**

- You can check the status of your uploaded file at the bottom of the upload page under "Review file status and history."

- The processing report will indicate any errors that may have occurred during the upload.
