Transferring data to new sales orders in SAP VA01

An SAP user needs to transfer customer purchase order spreadsheet data to SAP VA01 to create a new sales order.

Is it possible to transfer data from spreadsheet (customer purchase order) to VA01 in SAP to create a new sales order? What is the best way to do this?

Yes. There are SAP function modules for reading from Excel, or you can upload from a flat file, and then use the SAP BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 to create the sales order.
