Import Requisitions and Purchase Orders Requiring Special Handling

Include the special handling type and special handling details when you import requisitions and purchase orders using file-based data import.

To import special handling requisitions, enter the Special Handling Type Code in the requisition import template. To import special handling orders, enter the Special Handling Type in the purchase order import template.

Here's the list of special handling related attributes in the file-based data import template common to requisition headers, requisition lines, purchase order headers and purchase order lines:

  • SH_ATTRIBUTE1 to SH_ATTRIBUTE20
  • SH_ATTRIBUTE_NUMBER_1 to SH_ATTRIBUTE_NUMBER_10
  • SH_ATTRIBUTE_DATE1 to SH_ATTRIBUTE_DATE10
  • SH_ATTRIBUTE_TIMESTAMPE1 to SH_ATTRIBUTE_TIMESTAMP10

Offering: Procurement

To use the Import Requisitions and Purchase Orders Requiring Special Handling feature, you must opt in to its parent feature: Create Requisitions and Purchase Orders Requiring Special Handling. If you’ve already opted in to this parent feature, then you don’t have to opt in again.

Tips And Considerations

The application will derive and validate fields for imported special handling orders using the same behavior as special handling orders created in the application. For example, the Override B2B communication on an imported special handling order will be set according to the Override B2B communication for special handling orders setting on the supplier site.
