Date Ranges

When building a data export for open orders, if no date range is specified for Received Date in the filters, Linnworks automatically applies a default range starting 31 days prior to the date the report is executed using Received Date as the criteria. This is implemented to ensure there is not excessive loading on the database by exporting all open orders, every time the export is executed.

Available Columns

The available columns below have been grouped by similar fields for convenience. They may appear in a different order when exported. The order can be changed on the Column Mapping screen of the export configurations. For more information on this, please see our Column Mapping documentation.
