Register Parts Catalog using Fusion Item Catalog or Organization

Registering a Parts Catalog using the Item catalog or Organization provides the ability to import Items from a (Fusion) Item Catalog or Organization and use them as a Parts Catalog in Field Service. During registration it is possible to define the structure of the future Parts Catalog by selecting specific fields to be synchronized.

Described feature provides the ability via the Parts Catalog screen to register a (Fusion) Item Catalog or Organization and use their Item data as a Parts Catalog in Field Service.

Catalog

It is possible to define the structure of the future Parts Catalog by configuring what fields of the Items to use as shown below:

structure

After registering a Catalog, the Field Service system would create a Parts Catalog of the defined structure and automatically import Items data from the Source Items Catalog or Organization, including any related Items.

Once the import is complete, the Parts Catalog would be periodically updated with the new added Items to the source Item Catalog or Organization while also deleting any items no longer present there.

This feature allows for an easy integration from an existing Item Catalog or Organization data into Field Service, making it available for field resources in offline mode. It is also possible to separate data access between different User Types by registering Parts Catalogs of different structures from the same source and assigning them to the appropriate User Types.

Steps to Enable

The only precondition for the feature to be available to use is to have added and properly configured an Application of type 'Oracle Fusion Service and Service Logistics' with the parameter 'Use Fusion catalog' enabled.

Tips And Considerations

• Synchronizing data items can take some time and depends on the size of the source Item Catalog or Organization.
