Bulk Ordering allows a user to complete an excel template based on an existing customer catalogue and create multiple orders simultaneously from this template.
The Bulk Ordering process has a set of validation rules per transaction type for the local customer based on the create order validation rules. Mandatory fields that are not populated from inventory must be filled in. If there is at least one field that is populated from inventory, the MSISDN provided in the template must match a MSISDN in the inventory for the selected customer. If a field is read only, it must be left blank in the template; however it can potentially be populate from inventory dependent on the validation configuration.
Upon creation, any field that is marked as being populated from inventory will have its values retrieved from the inventory.
This section of the user guide explains this functionality.
