Receiving Inbound Data with the Item Master EIP and the Item Price List EIP

You can receive inbound item data by using any of the Item Master EIPs that are listed in the another topic. With the Item Price List EIP, you can receive item price list data that is sent by third-party sources using the ITEM_PRICELIST_LOAD service operation. The ITEM_PRICELIST_LOAD service operation supports requirements of the X.12 832 - Price/Sales transaction set.

Item records that are created from EIPs or flat files are inserted into the item loader staging tables for inbound processing. The Item Loader process validates the staged data, and if no errors are found, updates the database. You can correct any errors that are flagged by the Item Loader process by using the Data Definition Maintenance component.
