How to Import YKK Documents

Import YKK order acknowledgements and quotes into purchase orders

There are two methods to import YKK documents into TRUE purchase orders: the Partner App integration and AI AutoFill. Both methods populate PO line items from your YKK documents.

Import YKK documents using the dedicated Partner App integration.

  1. Navigate to Purchasing module and select or create a PO
  2. Switch to the Items tab
  3. Click the Gear icon
  4. Select Integrations
  5. Click YKK
  6. Upload or drag your YKK order acknowledgement or quote
  7. Click Submit to import line items

Import YKK documents using the AI AutoFill feature for intelligent document parsing.

  1. Navigate to Purchasing module and select or create a PO
  2. Upload the YKK document to the PO's Files
  3. Switch to the Items tab
  4. Click Options
  5. Select AI AutoFill
  6. Choose the uploaded YKK document
  7. Review and confirm the populated line items

Note: AI AutoFill uses intelligent document parsing to identify line items. It works well with various YKK document formats.


Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the YKK integration

Import Basics

The YKK integration supports the following document types:

  • Order Acknowledgements - Confirmation documents from YKK after placing an order
  • Quotes - YKK pricing quotes before placing orders

Both document types can be used to populate PO line items with product details, quantities, and pricing information.

Yes. You can import YKK quotes to populate PO line items before placing your order with YKK.

This is useful when you want to create the PO in TRUE based on a quote, then submit the order to YKK. Once you receive the order acknowledgement, you can verify the line items match.

Both methods work with YKK documents. Choose based on your preference:

  • Partner App (Gear > Integrations > YKK): Purpose-built for YKK documents with specific field mapping
  • AI AutoFill (Options > AI AutoFill): Uses AI to parse documents, may handle format variations better

If one method doesn't work with a particular document, try the other.

Cost Codes & Job Assignment

When importing YKK documents, cost codes are retained on the PO's Details tab, not on individual line items.

This is the expected behavior - the cost code you set on the PO before import will remain on the Details tab. Line items do not receive individual cost codes from the YKK import.

The YKK integration may clear the Cost Center field and mark line items as stock items during import.

Workaround:

  1. Note your Cost Center before importing
  2. Import the YKK document
  3. Return to the Details tab
  4. Re-select the appropriate Cost Center
  5. Update line items from Stock to Job assignment as needed

Tip: If you frequently need job-assigned items, review your PO after import and update the assignments before sending to the vendor.

Split Orders & Multiple Documents

YKK sometimes splits large orders into multiple shipments, each with its own order acknowledgement. The integration handles these as follows:

Options for Split Orders:

  • Single PO: Import the first acknowledgement, then manually add items from subsequent acknowledgements
  • Multiple POs: Create separate POs in TRUE for each YKK order acknowledgement
  • Master PO: Use the original quote to create the PO, then track shipments against it

Note: The integration does not currently support importing multiple order acknowledgements into the same PO sequentially. Each import replaces existing line items.

If the import doesn't populate line items, try these troubleshooting steps:

  1. Verify you're on the Items tab when using the integration
  2. Try the alternate import method (Partner App vs AI AutoFill)
  3. Check that the document is a valid YKK order acknowledgement or quote
  4. Ensure the file isn't corrupted - try opening it in a PDF viewer first
  5. Contact TRUE Support with the document attached if issues persist
