Hi Nathan,

Which version of the Cart and DNN are you currently running?

The following Smith Cart Automated Order Exporter program have been written to enable you to automate operational processes using the built-in DNN Scheduler.

To enable the automated Smith Cart Automated Order Exporter program, do the following:

1. Go into the DNN Host menu > Schedule page and click on the Add Item to Schedule link.

2. In the “Full Class Name and Assembly” field enter the following:
Smith.DNN.Modules.BuyNow.ExportOrdersFlatScheduler

3. Check “Schedule Enabled” and enter the frequency in the “Time Lapse” field which you would like to schedule the export program to be executed. Click Update, and you should be good to go.

Thanks,

Hi Nathan,

We have 2 Order Export programs available.

The first is a Windows exe program that is integrated with the Smith Cart database to automate, export and send new store orders to a partner (i.e. fulfillment house) or any third party you want to send orders to on a nightly basis. Just add this program to the windows scheduler and schedule the program to run on a fixed interval. Typically, orders are sent to the fulfillment house once a day at midnight. More info available at the following link: https://www.smith-consulting.com/pd/P...

The 2nd Automated Order Exporter program has been built into SmithCart to enable you to automate operational processes using the built-in DNN Scheduler. This can be configured using the instructions in the above post.

The folder path used is portals/PortalID/SmithCart/OrderExport/. Both programs require CSV files to be utilized.

Hope this helps!

Hi Nathan,

Info on the configuration of the external Order Exporter program can be found in the User's Guide here: https://www.smith-consulting.com/Portals/0/docs/smithcart-exportorders-exe.pdf

The Automated Order Exporter uses the Order Export specifications for the "Flat Order" format found on pg. 223 of the SmithCart Manual here: http://www.smith-consulting.com/Portals/0/docs/smithshoppingcartmanual.pdf

The Automated Exporter Program simply allows you to automate this feature and schedule when it runs.

To enable the automated Smith Cart Automated Order Exporter program, do the following:

1. Go into the DNN Host menu > Schedule page > Click on the Add Item to Schedule link.

2. In the “Full Class Name and Assembly” field enter the following: Smith.DNN.Modules.BuyNow.ExportOrdersFlatScheduler

3. Check “Schedule Enabled” and enter the frequency in the “Time Lapse” field which you would like to schedule the export program to be executed. Click Update, and you should be good to go.
