**Setting Purpose:** Central Ordering Attachment File Path

The **OrdCntlFil** setting defines the directory where Frameworks looks for file attachments to attach to customer orders during the [OCR Import Customer Orders](https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FRAM/pages/122355716) scheduled task. Place the attachment files in this directory before running the import.

- In the **Value** field, enter the full directory path where attachments are stored (for example, `/frameworks/tenants/trunk/dmp/attachments/`). The directory must exist and the Frameworks application server must have access to it.

> ⚠️ **Important:** The **OrdCntlFil** setting works alongside the **SysAttPth** and **SysAttPthPrevious** settings. If **SysAttPth** is set to **AWSS3**, the import process uses **SysAttPthPrevious** to locate attachments. Otherwise, the import uses the value defined in **SysAttPth**.

If the directory is not set or is inaccessible, attachments will not be linked and errors are logged during the import process.

The **OrdCntlFil** setting is used by the [OCR Import Customer Orders](https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FRAM/pages/122355716) scheduled task and works in conjunction with [COPDefDesp](https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FSS/pages/126877713).
