What Orders to Download
Last Updated
When downloading orders, only orders that have been updated after this date and time will be downloaded. After orders are downloaded successfully, these fields will be changed automatically to the current date and time.
Download Orders When Order Status Is
You can determine which status orders are downloaded by checking statuses from the list here. For instance, if only Unshipped is checked, only orders where the status is Unshipped will be downloaded.
If you use additional statuses within Amazon Seller, you can add them by selecting Add Custom Status (Optional). The status name must match exactly.
Auto Download Orders
Turn on the automatic download schedule:
Orders will be checked at first every 5 minutes. If no orders are pulled down, orders will then be checked in 10 minutes. If nothing is found, orders will next be checked in 20 minutes, and so on. The maximum amount of wait time to check for orders is every 2 hours. If/once an order is downloaded, orders checking will be reset to 5 minutes all the process will begin again.
Choose from the dropdown when the schedule should start each day.
Inventory
Auto Dispatch Orders
Cin7 Omni can attempt to dispatch orders automatically upon download. This option is useful if you prefer to dispatch from the Amazon Seller module, and simply download orders for stock purposes only. This is not possible for those orders that have batch or serial numbers.
The following options are available:
Yes |
All orders will be downloaded with status as Dispatched and a Dispatch date entered. Stock will be dispatched if available. |
Yes - Completed Orders only |
All orders that are set to completed in Amazon Seller will be downloaded but only marked as Dispatched in Cin7 Omni if there is stock available for all the items in the order. |
Yes - Completed Orders only ( ignore stock ) |
All orders that are set to completed in Amazon Seller will be downloaded and be marked as Dispatched in Cin7 Omni, have a Dispatch date entered, and stock will be dispatched if available. |
No |
Default. Orders will be downloaded as open, and stock must be dispatched manually. |
PN: Auto Dispatch feature does not work in conjunction with Split Order functionality in Branch Routing.
Automatically Load BOMs for Kits
If you have a bill of materials (BOM) assigned to your finished products, you can choose for the BOM to be expanded automatically when you download orders. This requires the finished product to have its Order Type set to "Kit" in the product details.
Note that the "Automatically Load BOMs..." setting ignores the Amazon Fulfilled Orders (FBA). If this setting is checked, the orders fulfilled by the Amazon FBA branch will not expand BOMs.
Branches
FBA Branch
Set the branch for all new Amazon Seller FBA orders to be downloaded into. The branch can be changed manually in a Sales Order before it is dispatched.
Note that orders in this branch will not have their order status updated to Amazon once dispatched; it should therefore be a different branch to the Merchant Fulfilled Orders branch selected in "Additional Settings".
Route Branch by Country and Stock
Branches can be routed based on country, state, shipping options, and stock; see the Branch Based Routing article for additional information.
Customers
How To Create Or Assign A Customer From An Order
This option controls how customer records should be handled when orders are downloaded. You can download all orders to one predefined contact, regardless of the customer's details in the original order.
Assign To CRM Customer Group (Optional)
This option will assign new customer contacts in the CRM to a particular reporting group. Options are populated by the Customer Groups, which can be added in the Settings page.
Accounts
Invoice Options
Each order is downloaded to Cin7 Omni individually. However, when importing orders to your accounting software, you may not wish to import each order. This option allows you to batch invoices for accounting purposes.
Allow batch invoice |
This will leave the invoice date blank and an invoice number will not be generated until you fill it in manually or process a batch of payments. |
import invoices Individually |
This will add an invoice date and generate an invoice number for all new Amazon Seller orders. |
Order GL Account (Optional)
Choose an Alternative General Ledger account to apply to Amazon Seller orders. This will apply to the Alternative GL Account at the order level.
Additional settings

Download Merchant Fulfilled Orders Into This Branch

Auto Dispatch FBA Orders
Set a dispatch status for Amazon Fulfilled Orders.

When set to "Yes": This setting will ensure all FBA orders download as dispatched, irrespective of its status on Amazon Seller.
When set to "No": This setting will not dispatch any FBA orders and downloaded orders will continue to remain open, irrespective of its status on Amazon Seller.
