Import Your Partner Address Data

You can use the import functionality to create or update Partner Address records.

You can import Partner Address 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 Partner Address 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 Partner Address 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 Partner Address 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 Partner Address 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 Partner Address 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 Partner Address child objects. Note that you must have imported the CSV file for Partner Address 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.

Select a Unique Identifier for Your Records

All records must be unique in the application. You can use one of these to identify records:

• Public unique identifiers: If you're creating records, then you can provide an easily understandable public unique identifier. These are, usually, denoted with 'Number' and visible in the business object's UI. PUID attributes are usually named <object> Number. If you're updating a record with a Number attribute, then use the Number attribute to identify the record. For more information about public unique identifiers, see the topic "How You Use Alternate Keys to Import Records" in Related Topics section.

• Source system and source system reference: Source system is an identifier for the external system, and source system reference is a unique identifier within the external system. If you're importing new Partner Address or are updating Partner Address that have source system reference data, then provide the source system and source system reference values.

Required Attributes and Validations for Partner Address 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.

This table lists the required attributes for Partner Address records, prerequisite setup tasks and specific validations, if any:

Attribute	Description	Prerequisite Setup Task/ Import Validations	Creating an Partner Address record	Updating an Existing Partner Address record
LocationId	The internal ID for the location.	No validation	Not Required	Not Required
PrimaryFlag	The attribute indicates the primary address of the partner.	No validation	Required. If not passed, the default value, 'N' is used.	Not Required
Country	The country of the specified partner address.	No validation	Not Required	Not Required
AddressId	The primary key for the Partner Address record.	No validation	Auto-generated	Required
PartyId	The party ID of the partner company.	Either the PartyId or the CompanyNumber is required.	Required	Not Required
CompanyNumber	The company number of the partner company.	Either the PartyId or the CompanyNumber is required.	Required	Not Required
AddressNumber	The PUID of the address object.	No validation	This is auto-generated or can be passed while creating a record.	Either the AddressNumber or the AddressId is required.

Go to Navigator > Tools > Import Management > Import Objects, to see all the attributes of the Partner Address 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 Partner Address 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 Partner Address information. To create an import activity:

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

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 Partner Address 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.

Note: To access and submit the import activities for Partner Contact, the user must be assigned the job roles of the Channel operations manager.

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 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.
