Exporting Order Data

Export order data to CSV or ORD files for CNC integration, data analysis, or Cabinet Vision import. Exports are configured per product using visual builders, then downloaded from the Orders section.

Overview

The export workflow has two parts:

  1. Configure exports on your products (in Catalog → Exports)
  2. Download exports from orders (in Orders → Exports view)

This page covers downloading exports from orders. For configuration, see Product Exports.

Multiple Items with Same Product

If an order has multiple items using the same product:

  • Each item appears separately in the export list
  • Each has its own export cards
  • Exports use the item's specific line item data
  • File names include the item index to differentiate

Items Without Exports

If a product doesn't have any exports configured:

  • The item shows "No exports available"
  • Configure exports in Catalog → [Product] → Exports
  • See Product Exports for setup instructions

Troubleshooting

No Exports Showing

Cause: Product doesn't have export configurations

Solution:

  1. Go to Catalog → [Product] → Exports
  2. Create a CSV or ORD export using the visual builder
  3. Save the configuration
  4. Return to the order—exports should appear

Export Button Disabled

Cause: Export is currently processing

Solution: Wait for the loading spinner to complete

Wrong Data in Export

Cause: Export columns are misconfigured

Solution:

  1. Preview the export first to verify data
  2. If incorrect, edit the export configuration on the product
  3. Check field mappings in the column editor

ORD File Not Working in Cabinet Vision

Cause: Field mappings don't match Cabinet Vision expectations

Solution:

  1. Verify ORD field keys match Cabinet Vision's naming
  2. Ensure required fields (Width, Height, Depth) are mapped
  3. Check that number fields are formatted as numbers, not text

Missing Line Items in Export

Cause: Quantity format set to single row

Solution: If you need separate rows per piece, change the Qty Format setting to "Separate Rows" in the export configuration
