Upload and Download Financial Category Assignments

You can download financial category assignment template files to help you set up financial categories, and then upload the files to your environment.

You can download Sample or Current files. Sample provides a csv file with relevant headers to help familiarize you with the types of data you can expect. Current provides a list of current data assignments you can download to your test or production environments. Prior to downloading a file, you must select the segment combination you want to use to map your financial categories in the Select Columns dialog. The list prepopulates the segments defined in your chart of accounts that are BI enabled. Regardless of the file you download, you need to populate the FINANCIAL_CATEGORY column. Don't change any of the header names in the downloaded files. When you're done updating the files, you can upload them to your environment.
