Import Your Classification Code Data

You can use Import Management to create or update Classification Code records.

To import Classification Code records, perform the following tasks:

1. Map your source data to Oracle Applications Cloud object attributes.

2. Create source Comma Separated Values (CSV) file for import.

3. Create the import activity.

4. Review the import results.

How You Map Your Source Data to Object Attributes

To import your Classification Code data into Oracle Applications Cloud, you must populate a .csv file with your source data and map that source data to target object attributes in Oracle Applications Cloud.

You need to do the following before creating the CSV file for data import:

• Identify how your source data attributes map to the target object attributes in Oracle Applications Cloud.

• Ensure prerequisite setups are done, if applicable.

• Understand your options for uniquely identifying the records.

• Ensure parent records exist before importing child records.

• Identify the target object attributes that are required in the CSV file for a successful import.

Before You Start

You must do some basic checks before starting your import. For example:

• Complete all the prerequisites for importing each attribute in your source data.

• Have all parent records in place before importing child records.

Required Attributes and Validations for the Classification Code Object

To import data successfully into Oracle Applications Cloud, your CSV file must include the required attributes. Ensure that you provide valid values for the attributes. The following table lists the required attributes for importing new Classification Code records, prerequisite setup tasks for the attributes, and specific validations, if any, for Classification Code import:

Attribute	Description	Prerequisite Setup Task/ Import Validations	Creating a Classification Code Record	Updating an Existing Classification Code Record
ClassCategory	User-defined classification category	No validation	Required	You can't update the ClassCategory. However, it's required to identify the existing data.
ClassCode	User defined class codes for the user defined class category	No validation	Required	You can't update the ClassCode. However, it's required to identify the existing data.
Description	Brief description of the classification code	No validation	Required	Required
Meaning	The meaning of the classification code	No validation	Required	Required
ModifyHierarchy	Option to indicate if the parent and child hierarchies of the classification codes are to be modified	No validation	Optional	Not required
ParentClassCode	If there is a hierarchy set between the classification codes, then provide the parent classification code to which the child classification code belongs.	User- defined ClassCategory via the "Manage Classification Categories" UI.	Optional	Not required

You can view the Classification Code object and attributes in the Manage Import Objects page of the Import Management flow. You can find attribute information like type, length, description, and so on, on this page.

Create the Source CSV File

You include the data that you want to import into Sales and Fusion Service in a source CSV file.

You can use the templates available in the Import Objects UI page to create the source CSV file. To download a template:

1. Go to Navigator > Tools > Import Management > Import Objects.

2. Select the Classification Code object in the table and click Download.

You can now edit the downloaded file and provide valid values for the required attributes.

Note: For help in populating the CSV file and to avoid any issues in entering values, see the topic Potential Issues When Opening CSV Files With Excel in Related Topics section.

Create the Import Activity

After you have the CSV file ready, create an import activity to import the information. To create an import activity:

1. Go to Navigator > Tools > Import Management > Import Queue.

2. Click Create Import Activity in the Manage Imports page.

3. In the Enter Import Options page, provide a name for the import activity, and select Classification Code from the Object drop-down list.

4. Select the CSV file in the File Name field, and click Next.

5. The source and target attributes are automatically mapped in the Map Fields page. Review and edit the mappings if required.

6. Check the file for unmapped columns or data format issues by clicking Validate Data. Click Next.

7. Review the import details on the Review and Submit page, and click Submit when you're ready.

Review the Import Results

Check if your import succeeded on the Manage Imports page. This page shows the status of all active, completed, and unsuccessful imports. To check the status of the import activity:

1. Go to Navigator > Tools > Import Management > Import Queue.

2. Click All Imports and search for the import activity that you created earlier.

3. Check the Status column for the import activity. The import is successful if the status displays as Completed. You can drill down on the import activity to go to the Import Status page which provides the status details of the import activity.
