1. Open Bulk Processing

Navigate to Shipments → Bulk Processing.
You will see two tabs:

  • History – a list of your previous CSV imports

  • Import – where you upload and process files


(Optional) Download the CSV Template

If needed, click 'Download Template' to generate a ready-to-use CSV format with all available fields.


2. Upload Your CSV File

Open the 'Import' tab and upload your CSV by either:

  • Clicking the upload area

  • Or, Dragging and dropping your file into the box

Once uploaded, the file will display with a progress bar.


3. Map Your Columns to Open360 Fields

Match each column in your CSV to the appropriate Open360 Field using the dropdown menus.
Fields left unmapped will be ignored.


(Optional) Save Your Mapping as a Template

Click Save as template, name it, and save it.
This is ideal when you regularly import the same file format.


4. Import the File

Click Import.
Your data rows will appear in the results table below, including any records with errors.


5. Fix Imported Errors

If a row contains missing information or fields that cannot be quoted, it will be marked with an Error.

Click the Edit icon on the row to open the Edit Imported Shipment screen.

From here, you can update:

  • Sender and receiver address details

  • Contact information

  • Service / carrier

  • Special instructions

  • Shipment references

  • Residential flag

  • Weight, volume, items, etc.

Once corrected, click Update.

Repeat this for each error until all rows are valid.


6. Filter and Review Your Data

The Import view provides helpful toggles:

  • Errors only – show only rows that require fixing

  • Show all columns – expand the view with all available data

  • Show all pricing – enable pricing fields (if permitted)

You can also requote shipments after editing to refresh their pricing.


7. Choose an Import Action

Once all errors are resolved, choose how you want the imported rows to be created inside Open360:

You have three options:

  1. Import and Save as Drafts
    Creates Draft shipments that can be edited further.

  2. Import and Save as Quotes
    Creates Quotes based on the imported data.

  3. Import and Create Shipments
    Creates Ready-to-Ship consignments.


9. Finalise the Import

Click Create All to apply your selected Import Action to:

  • Every row

  • Or, only selected rows (if you manually select them)


10. View Past Imports

Your previous imports remain available under the History tab, including file names, dates, and success/error counts.
