1. In the Warehouse field, select the warehouse for which delivered orders will be downloaded to Tyler. Choose All and delivered orders from all warehouses/branches are included.

2. In the ‘Import PC File’ field, enter the path/location of the Dispatch Track file. For example, if the file is named ‘dispatchtrack_export.txt’ and is saved on your C: drive, you would enter “C:\dispatchtrack_export.txt” in this field.
   IMPORTANT: The ‘Input file using FTP’ option is no longer available.

3. Check ‘Update Order Status to Checked-In’ if you want to automatically change the status of the delivered orders to ‘4-Checked-In.’

4. Check the ‘Update Order Header Route’ box if you want to update the Route, Delivery Date and Time fields on the Order Maintenance screen (02-08-02) with the information from the Dispatch Track delivery file.
• The Time field is updated with the Stop Number, not the actual time of day.
• If you use Centralized Delivery or manually update the order header information (through Order Maintenance), it is recommended that you do not use the ‘Update Header File’ option.

5. If the Date, Route, Stop Number, Time Start, and Time Stop information from the Dispatch Track delivery file should be stored in a Tyler side file, check the ‘Update Side File Route Info’ box.
• The side file is used to sort the orders for printing (Packing Sheets and Standard/Long Method Invoices).

6. Click OK.
