Our mission is to eliminate (or reduce to an absolute minimum) the number of post-import adjustments that you must make to orders in the accounting system. We seek to accomplish this mission via the following feature-set:
ORDER DOWNLOAD
- Option to preserve your legacy Customer ID's in Peachtree and QuickBooks. Assigned cross-references are 'remembered' during the next import.
- Optional configurable rule-based creation of Customer ID.
- Option to import order as either an INVOICE or ORDER.
- Configurable cross-references of Shipping & Payment methods to match the accounting system.
- Option to automatically register cash receipt for invoice import (invoice remains open for unpaid transactions).
- Option to automatically register a customer payment if importing as an order (can then be applied to subsequent invoice).
- New customers are automatically added. If billing information has changed, it will be updated in accounting.
- Special handling of 'Contact Name' in Ship-To for Peachtree users.
- Intelligent abbreviaion of lengthy configurable options to 'fit' on the order-line description.

Order Download/Import: CartSpan has been stress-tested for high-volume import operations. In one contiguous session, CartSpan has been observed to import 1,046 orders in approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. This includes the automatic creation of new customer master records, followed by Invoices and their subsequent receipts for paid transactions.
Item Price/Quantity Upload: CartSpan has been stress-tested specifically against an implementation of Peachtree integrating with a UNIX/mySQL architecture. Over 10,000 itemshave been successfully exported from Peachtree and uploaded to the target cart using a single call to the supporting script.
