If you use Boulevard for the Mary Kay industry, you can import inventory product orders from the InTouch website using two different methods.
Option 1: Automatic Method
Use this method if the name and address from the order shipped matches the name and address the company has on record for you. If the order was sent to a different address or the name does not match, follow Option 2 instead. View
- In Boulevard, from the Product menu, select Inventory Order (or from Products - Inventory group on the main toolbar, click
Orders).
- From the Inventory Orders toolbar, click
Import.
- From the Imported Inventory Orders screen, click Date Range.
- Enter the order date or a different range for up to one month, or select from the quick options.
- The InTouch webpage will launch, and you will need to enter your Consultant ID and Password to sign in to the InTouch website. Once signed in, Boulevard will automatically continue the import process which can take up to 3 minutes.
- Once the download completes, from the Imported Inventory Orders screen, select an order, then click OK .*
- If the Order Import Log** appears, select
Print if necessary, then
Close.
- After making any necessary adjustments and ensuring the Total is correct, select
Save.
Tips:
- * If the expected order is not displayed, or it did not import correctly, from the Delete
drop-down menu, select Reset Imports, then select Date Range to import again. View
- If you continue to have trouble importing, ensure that in your anti-virus/firewall software you have allowed Boulevard access. For information on how to do this, view the support website for your anti-virus/firewall software. Otherwise, try following the steps under Option 2 to import.
Option 2: Copy/Paste Method
Follow the instructions under your country to use this method if you have trouble with Option 1 or if the order was shipped to a different name/address than what you have listed on InTouch. We recommend using Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, or Safari when using the manual import method.
Note: Only regular cosmetic orders should be imported. Replacement or CDS/Direct Ship orders are handled using different methods.

Additional Information:
- ** If there are items listed in the Order Import Log (except free section 2 items or non-retail prizes), manually add them to the order using a partial description search or the Find button. See View Product Update History or Load a Full Product List to check if you've missed loading any product updates.
- If the order you're trying to import is too old, we recommend that you Edit Physical Count Directly On the Product List and then Create a Historical Inventory Order without Changing On Hand Amounts.
- After saving the order, the Status will be set to Open and marked with the following image:
. The next step after the order has been submitted to the company is to update the Status to Placed. By doing this, items included in the order will be added to the On Order field in the product list and the Order field in inventory orders. After you have physically received the shipment, the final step in the process is to Receive the Product Order into Inventory.
