The Flow bulk order solution is intended to provide an easy way to see with which transport-products a batch of deliveries can be sent with and book delivery. The steps are as follows:

  1. Upload a file in the format explained below to flow.di.no

  2. We will email you the file back, with the addition of a new column "RESULT" containing the transport-product, or possibly an error message. Specify the email-address in step 1. At this point the orders are in a "stand-by status".

  3. Based on the results, you now have two options: You can either approve the file, meaning that the orders will be finalized, or you can cancel the file.

  4. If you decide to approve the orders, you will receive an email with labels when the orders are processed.

General notes about the format

  • We support both Excel- and CSV-files.

  • Encoding: The files are assumed to be encoded as ISO-8859-1.

  • Columns

    • The order of the columns is not important.

    • The header-line (with the column names) is essential. Each column MUST have our documented names (i.e. EXTERNAL_ORDER_ID or CONSIGNEE_NAME). 

    • We give an error if there are any unknown column names in the file. The file should therefore not have any other column names than those documented here. 

  • For CSV, the field separator is semi colon (;).

  • The columns can be quoted, if so, use ("").

  • We support files up to 50 000 orders

  • It may take some time for the files to be processed and generate labels. 

  • Contact your carrier provider with questions to the format, errors while uploading or use of different fields. 

  • Filename must be different for each file

Format definition

The Flow application makes use of Parcel Booking API, so please refer to the documentation for more information on possible error-codes.
