Basic Tracking - Bulk Upload: Correct Transactions

Overview

A bulk upload of corrected orders allows you to provide changes to orders that you previously sent to the basic commissioning system, which may include returned items or order cancellations, or changes to amounts.


Note:

  • ORDER_ID cannot be changed. If there is an error with ORDER_ID , please contact your Account Manager. 

Corrections may not be applied to orders after the locking period has passed.

Locking periods vary by affiliate program. Please consult your account strategist or customer care for further information.

No Personally Identifiable Information (PII) may be passed through the batch file. PII includes but is not limited to information which can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, such as their name, social security number, email address, phone number, or physical address.
