Click on Upload file then click on Next.

Click on Next.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Make sure the order ids added are all valid.
Also if you are adding the custom fields, make sure the field name and values are valid. The custom fields can be edited in the spreadsheet itself. As soon as the update process gets completed successfully, you can close the window.
In case the custom field is a checkbox - you can make any text entry like true-false, yes-no, 0-1, or off-on.
In case the custom field is a date field - enter date in yy/mm/dd format.
If the custom field is a picklist or drop-down list, make sure all the values present in the list are entered in the CSV file.

After the update process is completed successfully, close the window and the process will end. Custom fields for the mentioned purchase order ids will get updated.

If the spreadsheet table contains only order ids, click on Next to proceed with further steps.
