Process
of Importing Manufacturers in Oracle cloud
The purpose of this document is to explain the step by step
process of Importing Manufacturers in Oracle cloud. As compared to other data
elements, Manufacturers cannot be imported by usual File-based Data import
(FBDI) functionality or through Import Batches (specific to PDH). In earlier
releases Manufacturers were imported through Oracle Sales Cloud Process using
“Manage File Import Mappings” and “Manage File Import Activities” task from
Setup and Maintenance. However, starting from 21A release, the process has
changed and now Import Management workarea is used for bulk import of
Manufacturers. Import Management improves definition, error handling, and
performance for importing flat files (.CSV). For example, Import Management has
drag and drop mapping capabilities and validates the first ten records in your
data file before you import to ensure the data meets the import constraints of
the various attributes. Following are the steps to bulk import Manufacturers in
Oracle Cloud:
Step: 1 Go to Navigator and click on Import Management under
Tools. Here search for Organizations under Import Objects tab. Click on
download button to download the import template.
Step: 2 The downloaded template which is a Comma Separated
Values(.CSV) file has to be populated with the Manufacturer’s data that needs
to be imported. Below is the reference mapping for the required attributes. The
Spreadsheet will contain many other fields which can be removed as it is needed
for the Manufacturer import.
Save the .CSV file once all the data is populated as shown
below in sample screen shot:
Step: 3 Now to import the data, click on “Create Import
Activity” and create a new import. Select object as “Organization” and upload
the saved spreadsheet from the previous step
Click on Next and select “Automatic Mapping”. Validate the
data and then click on submit when ready.
Step: 4 After submitting the process, check the status under
Import Queue tab. Click All Imports and search for the import activity that you
created earlier. Check the Status column for the import activity. The import is
successful if the status displays as Completed. You can drill down on the
import activity to go to the Import Status page which provides the status
details of the import activity
Step: 5 After the process is complete, navigate to Product
Information Management work area and go to “Manage Trading Partner” task to
validate the imported Manufacturers. Click on Edit Trading Partners and search
for the imported Manufacturers
Points to Remember:
• Don't submit
duplicate import jobs for the same import object as they create duplicate
object records.
• Don't import more than 100,000 records in a single import
operation or perform more than five concurrent import activities
