Resolved Export/Import orders VM3.2

Hello,
You can export the orders from your production site and import it to staging site. Take a look at the VirtueMart orders document to know on the fields available and on how to do the export and import.

HI,
I had a look at: https://csvimproved.com/support/tutorials/239-virtuemart/2636-virtuemart-orders#fields

There are a lot of fields in this tutorial. Is there not a basic list of mandatory fields, or are all these fields mandatory?

Should I all add them?
As you can image, I need all order details, plus payment, language, shipping, tax rate, shopper info, etc linked to order!

So do I need to ex/import these fields for instance?
combine
locked_by
locked_on
modified_by
modified_on
skip

Hello,

The fields which are mandatory for import is explained in Import tab in the above linked document. You can check them under Required fields section. It is required that you add these fields to your export in production site so you can import them in staging site. These required fields will help to check if the order is already there in database and do a new insert if not or to update the existing record. Along with these field you can add other fields you want to import.

So do I need to ex/import these fields for instance?
combine
locked_by
locked_on
modified_by
modified_on
skip

combine and skip are CSVI fields, they are used to combine or skip a value in import file. You don't need them. Other fields locked_by,locked_on,modified_by,modified_on are VirtueMart orders table field, you can add them if you wish to import the values as in production site.
