Export orders to Spreadsheet / Excel to email to suppliers

econcepts:

I see. I hadn't had an official release date for the newest version (working on a few other mods currently), but this seems to be a pretty easy adjustment so I'll see what I can do .

Thanks, will wait desperately for the new release... w00t :)

This is my Signature: w00t

Re: Export orders to Spreadsheet / Excel to email to suppliers

econcepts Your ZC Export to CVS is really great. I have one problem though. I need the Order Product Attributes to be in their own field as these get exported to a Mail Merge Word Doc and I have no way to parse the fields/data as it is contained in one field. Any suggestions or help? Too, I have tried the export from MySQL/MyPHP but since I get multiple records for each product it is no good. Again, any help or suggestions appreciated.

The original version had each attribute in individual columns, but that didn't work well because the resulting export file had an indifferent number of columns which made it virtually impossible to import into anything else (as the standards were messed up).

So that idea went out the window early on, and in place of it was the concept of adding it all to one row, but delimiting it with a "pipe" [ | ].

That allows those who need to have each item separated out to use the pipe in that last field to determine where to make your breaks. It also allows the rest to not have the imports thrown off by mis matching column numbers from record to record.

If you want to get one order per row, you have to select that option before export. If you want 1 product per row, you need to select that. You may want to take a look at the read me file for more information.

In short, you have the option to export either one product per row, or one order per row from within the admin. Just make sure you choose the one that fits your needs.

Re: Export orders to Spreadsheet / Excel to email to suppliers

When I export, no data is included. The column headers are there, but the data is completely empty. This occurs whether it's in test mode, or true export mode.

I have this same exact problem. When I look in Tools-ExportShippingOrderInformation, I can see al of my customer email in the list, but absolutely nothing else... there is no other information at all, and the "preview order details" image is missing from the files, too.

Should I redownload the zip and try to reinstall again? I am using the most recent zencart, too.

Patty,

See if this solution works. There were a few people that said that no data was being exported and they narrowed it down to an element that referenced the ot shipping class.

See this entry and let me know if it works. These and others will be addressed in the next release.

Dose that solve the issue?

Re: Export orders to Spreadsheet / Excel to email to suppliers

fixed, edited shipping_export.php and delete AND ot.class = 'ot_shipping' and now works

He doesn't say what else he fixed or edited besides deleting the "AND ot.class....." but this still doesn't account for the missing .gif file for "preview order details"

No, it's still not working.

Re: Export orders to Spreadsheet / Excel to email to suppliers

Hi great module. It was easy to install and great to use. The only thing I am confused with is the order total. Does this include taxes? And can we have the tax amount as an additional field. Because this would be awesome to use as a quick tool for that too!

Can you let me know how I can add the tax amount to the additional fields?

Thanks again for a great module!

Thanks

Re: Export orders to Spreadsheet / Excel to email to suppliers

The mod looks to be great, but I am obviously doing something wrong. I have followed the install, but nothing shows up in the lower portion of my screen. The last thing showing is the Notice, and nothing at all below there. I have verified that I have had sales since the install. Any ideas???

I would try to reinstall and make sure you didn't miss anything. The other thing to note is that it will only show orders on the screen if any NEW orders have been added.

In addition, make sure you ran the SQL query to add the extra field in the db for it.

I'll look at splitting this out in a future version. The current "total" amount includes everything that could go into a total including tax and shipping.

Thanks! That got me seeing the orders and if i run the export, they correctly do not show next time. Any idea why the csv would only have the column headers? This will help me out a whole bunch if the operator (me) errors can get fixed....

See my earlier post on this same issue. Just a little further back in the postings. I refer to the following post in it.

Re: Export orders to Spreadsheet / Excel to email to suppliers

Hi Eric and everyone,

I need to export some orders from last year again for tax reporting purposes?

Any idea how I get them to show up again so I can export them? Any code I can reset or edit?

I did export them before but did not include proper field last time and it didn't work properly??

Also is this the most suitable tool to export orders for tax reporting or does someone know something more appropriate (something that shows sales taxes, last order status, payment method would really help!)

cheers,
Dave

Re: Export orders to Spreadsheet / Excel to email to suppliers

Dave,

Great stuff here. I've had a number of request for similar functionality and planned on adding the ability to export
"tax"
"payment method"
and possibly last order status as well.

I've been in the middle of a number of projects, but it looks like it is time to move this next version forward a bit (which would be 1.2.3).

I'll get cracking here and keep you all updated.

Thanks!

Re: Export orders to Spreadsheet / Excel to email to suppliers

Thanks Eric!

Gday from Australia, 1am here

Just for now how can I re-export some old orders again?

Obviously since I exported before they are not showing, but I didn't include the order totals etc last time so need to export again

can I edit or reset the code somewhere? Or will an uninstall / reinstall do the trick? I don't want to mess anything up :)

cheers,
Dave

Re: Export orders to Spreadsheet / Excel to email to suppliers

The only way right now is to go into the ORDERS database and set the "downloaded_ship" field in each record you want to re-export to "no".

This will make them show once again when you visit the "export shipping" page in your admin.

To speed up this process, you could write an SQL script that looks something like this and run it form within your admin.
**
UPDATE orders SET downloaded_ship="no" WHERE downloaded_ship="yes" AND [add your other criteria here such as dates between etc...]**

Hope that helps. :)

Now, would you get some sleep already!

Re: Export orders to Spreadsheet / Excel to email to suppliers

Many thanks
