For merchants using the tracking number options within the Volusion Winter '09 and V5 system to record tracking number information for orders being shipped via FedEx, UPS or DHL, it is recommended to enter data into every column provided in the tracking numbers table within Volusion. This data can be imported and exported to and from the Volusion sustem using the "Import / Export" functions in the Volusion Admin Page - under the Inventory tab.

At at a minimum, it is recommended to use the following fields in the tracking number table:

TrackingNumber (This is required anyway)
Gateway
OrderID
Shipment_Cost
ShippingMethodID

This information can be manually entered into each order under the Shipping / Tracking Numbers section when viewing the details of an order. If you want to upload the tracking number table for multiple orders at once, you can do so by importing tracking information from a spreadsheet (you must save the spreadsheet in .CSV format).

This can be done by copying the field names above and putting them into the your spreadsheet. Then fill in the appropriate data under the field names:

• Go to Inventory >> Import / Export >> Import Wizard.
• Then select TrackingNumbers table, choose the option Yes, replace any existing data with my new updated data and then click the Upload my files button.
  

The following link provides a sample CSV file that can be used. Note that this file should be edited in a spreadsheet program capable of reading .CSV files such as Microsoft Excel: TrackingNumbers
