Import Your Incentive Rule Attribute Values Data

You can use the import functionality to create or delete Incentive Rule Attribute Value records.

You can import Incentive Rule Attribute Value records using these steps:

1. Map your source data to Oracle Applications Cloud object attributes. This way the import process would know where to insert each of the information bits.

2. Create the source CSV file with the Incentive Rule Attribute Value data you want to import.

3. Kick off an import activity.

4. Check the import results to know if the import went well.

How You Map Your Source Data to Target Object Attributes

You import Incentive Rule Attribute Value data into Oracle Applications Cloud from a CSV file containing your source data that's mapped to target Oracle Applications Cloud object attributes.

Before you create the source data file, you should:

• Know how your source data attributes map to the target object attributes in Oracle Applications Cloud. Match each column from the source file to an attribute in the Incentive Rule Attribute Values import object.

• Finish all prerequisite steps, such as understanding what attributes are required for importing your objects.

• Know how you can uniquely identify the records.

• Check the target object attributes required in the CSV file for a successful import.

• Ensure that you don't insert duplicate Incentive Rule Attribute Values while importing, to avoid redundant data.

If you want to import only a few records, then you can create a single CSV file for all Incentive Rule Attribute Values attributes. However if you want to import a large number of records, then you may decide to create multiple CSV files, one for each of the Incentive Rule Attribute Value child objects. Note that you must have imported the CSV file for Incentive Rule Attribute Values object successfully before trying to import the CSV files for the child objects. There are separate help topics describing how to import each of these child objects.

Before You Start

You must do some basic checks before starting your import. For example, make sure that:

• You have completed all the prerequisites for importing each attribute in your source data.

• You have all parent records in place before importing child records.

LowValueChar	Qualifying attribute value	This is validated for the value set, if defined during setup in the Manage Incentive DFF setup task.	Required	Required if deleting a value. Not Required if deleting the qualifier.
HighValueChar	Indicates a higher range of qualifying attribute value if the operator is "Between"	This is validated for the value set, if defined during setup in the Manage Incentive DFF setup task.	Required, if the OperatorName is "Between"	Required, if the OperatorName is "Between" Required if the OperatorName is "Between" and you're deleting a value. Not required if you're deleting the qualifier.
RuleAttrValueId	Unique internal identifier of the rule attribute value	This is validated for the Rule Attribute Value table when deleting an incentive.	Leave this blank.	Optional
ActionCode	Indicates explicitly the operation to be performed on a row: INSERT to create a new record in the destination tables DELETE to delete the record.	The value can be either blank or DELETE.	Optional Leave this blank.	Required Enter the value as DELETE.

Go to Navigator > Tools > Import Management > Import Objects, to see all the attributes of the Incentive Rule Attribute Values object. The page also lists attribute information like type, length, description, and so on.

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 Incentive Rule Attribute Values 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 Incentive Rule Attribute Values information. To create an import activity:

1. Go to Navigator > Tools > Import Management > Import Incentive Rule Attribute Values.

2. On the Manage Imports page, click Create Import Activity.

3. In the Create Import Activity: Enter Import Options page, provide a name for the import activity, and select Incentive Rule Attribute Values from the Object drop-down list.

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

5. You would see that 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 Go to Navigator > Tools > Import Management > Import Incentive Rule Attribute Values.

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.
