Did PR8 change Order Processing Batch reports format?

[macmike00]

I upgraded to PR8 after which I could no longer successfully transfer orders into Quickbooks using Shopping Cart Assistant from Write it Once. The process depends on the Standard Batch report format being formatted in an exact way. Did PR8 change this Standard Batch Report?

The workflow involves creating a batch from "manage orders" accessing that batch in the "Legacy Order Processing" area of Utilities, copying the standard batch report into memory and then importing it into the SCA program. That program then creates the sales receipts automatically into Quickbooks (creates new customers when nec etc). Sounds complex but it actually only takes about 5 minutes to import 100s of orders.

So, now I can't get the SCA program to import the batch report. Just stalls on the first order. Anyone know if PR8 affected the Standard Batch Report?

As an aside, anyone know of a better way to import the orders into Quickbooks pro 2010?

What format does the data have to be in? Is it a tab delimited file? Any particular order for the data?

It's the oddest part of the process. The programmer who designed the program has configured it to import data from an exact format.

I run a standard batch report in Internet Explorer (will not format properly in Firefox). Then I Select All and copy. I open the Shopping Cart Assistant program and hit the import button. The program then imports every order perfectly.

After Import I tell the SCA program to put all the imported orders into Quickbooks and it automatically exports all the orders. All new customers are created in Quickbooks and all inventory is properly deducted.
