# Crossdock Pre-Receipt Import via SFTP

> Import crossdock pre-receipts in bulk via SFTP — receipts that flow straight through to an outbound dispatch, with the delivery details on the same row.

A crossdock pre-receipt is a receipt that flows **straight through to dispatch** rather than being put away into stock. The crossdock import lets you create these in bulk by uploading a CSV via SFTP — each row carries both the receipt details and the outbound dispatch and delivery details.

<Tip>**Template:** <a href="/images/templates/standard_pre_receipt_crossdock_import_template.csv" download>standard\_pre\_receipt\_crossdock\_import\_template.csv</a> — download it, fill in your data, and upload it via SFTP.</Tip>

## Key fields

The template includes every available column. The essentials are:

| Field                                                                     | Purpose                                  |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `receipt_reference`                                                       | Your unique reference for the receipt    |
| `account_code`                                                            | The account the stock belongs to         |
| `receipt_type`                                                            | Set to `crossdock`                       |
| `warehouse_code`                                                          | Warehouse receiving the stock            |
| `expected_date_of_receipt`                                                | When the stock is expected in            |
| `product_code`                                                            | Product being received                   |
| `item_quantity` / `quantity_dimension`                                    | Quantity and its unit                    |
| `expected_date_of_dispatch`                                               | When the crossdocked stock should ship   |
| `goods_out_reference`                                                     | Reference for the outbound order created |
| Delivery address (`address_1`–`address_5`, `postcode`, `country_code`, …) | Where the crossdocked stock is sent      |

Optional header, line, and reference fields (`receipt_string1`–`5`, `line_integer1`–`5`, and so on) are included in the template — leave any you don't need blank.

<Note>This mirrors the [standard pre-receipt import](/knowledgebase/inbound/pre-receipt-import), with added dispatch and delivery columns for the outbound leg.</Note>
