Entering the order header data

In the **BOM** tab, the articles (order items), assemblies and components can be entered [manually](/v1/docs/en/allgemeines-kurz-erklaert-editieren-von-listen) .

Alternatively, the bill of materials can be [imported](/v1/docs/en/allgemeines-kurz-erklaert-importieren-von-daten) .

Importing a BOM

> [!TIP]
> **Tip:** If the material data is maintained in [the materialManager](/v1/docs/en/materialmanager-tutorial-erste-schritte) , the [material types](/v1/docs/en/materialmanager-materialtypen-platten) can be used when entering a material.

The display of the material image also supports visual inspection.

## Importing an Order

Alternatively, you can create a new order using the **Import Order** button. To do this, the import file must comply with the interface specifications.

> [!TIP]
> **Tip:** Use a coordinated Connect interface of the software partners to automatically transfer and import the data.

Importing the ZIP folder

As the import is processed, the file is validated. If the selected file does not correspond to the expected format, a corresponding error message will be displayed (link).

If the import is successfully completed, both the order header data and the bill of materials can be added if necessary.
