Sample input file, which will update the status of order 100025838, and add a comment in the order history:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ArrayOfOrderInfo>
  <OrderInfo>
    <increment_id>100025838</increment_id>
    <comment>Tracking number: 852308</comment>
  </OrderInfo>
</ArrayOfOrderInfo>

Sample XSLT file to use to transform orders exported from Sage in the Zynk XML Sales Orders format, to the Magento order update format. This is also available in the Auto Mapper.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="Company">
    <ArrayOfOrderInfo>
      <xsl:for-each select="SalesOrders/SalesOrder">
        <xsl:call-template name="OrderInfo" />
      </xsl:for-each>
    </ArrayOfOrderInfo>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template name="OrderInfo">
    <OrderInfo>
      <increment_id><xsl:value-of select="CustomerOrderNumber"/></increment_id>
    </OrderInfo>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
