1. File-Based Data Import (FBDI) for Financials
  2. Load Data into Tables

Load Data into Tables

Use the file-based data import feature to import large volumes of data from third-party or other Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, or create new data in Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials. For example, you can import journal entry batches from legacy and third-party applications into the GL_INTERFACE table using the JournalImportTemplate.xlsm template.

You can also use certain file-based data import features to update large volumes of existing data in the application. For example, update the descriptive details in the FA_DESCRIPTIVE_DETAILS_INT table using the FixedAssetUpdateDescriptiveDetailTemplate.xlsm template.

Load Data into Interface Tables

Perform the following steps to load data to the interface tables:

  1. Download the relevant file-based data import template.

    Note: The file-based data import spreadsheets are available in Windows-compatible format only. Mac-compatible spreadsheets are not currently available.

  2. Enter data in the template.

  3. Click the Generate CSV File button on the Instructions and CSV Generation worksheet in the template to create the CSV files in a zip file format.

  4. Save the zip file locally.

  5. Sign in to Oracle Applications Cloud.

  6. From the Navigator menu, click File Import and Export in the Tools section.

  7. Click the Upload icon. Click Browse to search for and select the zipped data file you saved.

  8. Select the account for the applicable file-based import process.

  9. Click Save and Close to transfer the zipped data file to the Oracle Universal Content Management Cloud server.

  10. Navigate to the Scheduled Processes page. Select your import process and the locally saved data file and then submit the Load Interface File for Import process to upload your data from the CSV files to the interface tables.

Load Data into Product Tables

Perform the following steps to load data from the interface tables to the product tables:

  1. Navigate to the Scheduled Processes page.

  2. Verify that the Load Interface File for Import process completed successfully.

  3. Submit the product-specific import process.

  4. Verify that the import process completed successfully.

Manage Data in Interface Tables

To manage the growth of product interface tables, there is an automatic purge interface table process that is initiated for each file-based data import process for data records older than 30 days. You can also use the Purge Interface Tables process to manually delete data from the tables.

Use Web Services

You can automate the entire inbound data flow using web services as an alternative to the manual approach outlined above. In addition, you can manage data from product interface and error tables with streamlined purge capabilities.
