# Automatic Creation During Order Import

During [order intake from Shopware](/shopware/shopware6_en_us/order-processing/order-intake-from-shopware-into-bc.md), the connector can add missing master data automatically – controlled by the configuration.

**Creating unknown items**

If the **Create Unknown Items** option is enabled, items that exist in Shopware but are not yet available in BC are **created automatically when the order is downloaded**. They are matched by item number (SKU).

**Creating unknown / guest customers**

Orders without a matching customer are processed according to the customer rules – either as a new customer or assigned to a default or guest customer. See [Guest Customers & Default Customers](/shopware/shopware6_en_us/customer-management/guest-customers-and-default-customers.md).

**Choosing the price source**

A configuration option lets you control whether the **price from the Shopware order** is adopted during order import or whether the customer's **default BC price** is used. Disable the option if the BC customer prices are to apply.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Automatic item creation is convenient, but it can produce incomplete item master data. Review newly created items and add any missing information (for example, posting groups).
{% endhint %}

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### How does the connector determine whether an ordered item already exists in Business Central?

Items are matched by item number (SKU/`productNumber`). If no matching BC item is found and "Create Unknown Item" is enabled, the connector creates the item automatically from the "Item Template". If the option is not enabled, the line remains reserved for the existing item or the import reports the missing item.

#### Which templates are used for automatic creation?

The "Item Template" is used for items and the "Cust. Template" for customers. Among other things, these templates determine posting groups and further master data defaults. Review automatically created records, because not all detail fields can be filled from Shopware.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.solutioo.de/shopware/shopware6_en_us/data-from-shopware-download-and-matching/automatic-creation-during-order-import.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
