## Import Multinail File

1. Navigate to **Sales > Transaction Processing > Sales Orders** from the **Frameworks Menu**.
2. Click **New** to create a new sales order or search for an existing order using the **Find** button.
3. In the **Cust No.** field, enter the customer number or click the **search** icon to find the customer.
4. Click **Actions**, then **File Imports**, then **Multinail File**.
5. Click **Choose File**, navigate to the Multinail file on your computer, and click **Open**.
6. Click **Upload** to import the file.
7. When the **Import Status** window displays, review the import results and click **Close**.

## Result

The **Import Status** window displays:

- Number of product lines successfully imported
- Number of unresolved import lines requiring attention

Multinail product codes that match existing Frameworks products are added to the order automatically. Product codes that don't match display in the **Resolve Product Mapping** window and require resolution before the order can be processed.

If unresolved import lines exist, the **Import** icon appears next to the **Actions** button to open the **Resolve Product Mapping** window.
