Import Your Subscription Balance Register Adjustment Data
You can use the Import Management to create, update, or delete Subscription Balance Register Adjustment records.
You can import Subscription Balance Register Adjustment records using these steps:
- Map your source Subscription Balance Register Adjustment data to Oracle Applications Cloud object attributes. This way the import process would know where to insert each of the information bits.
- Create the source CSV file with the Subscription Balance Register Adjustment data you want to import.
- Create an import activity.
- Check the import results to know if the import went well.
How You Map Your Source Data to Target Object Attributes
To import your Subscription Balance Register Adjustment 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 must 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 steps are complete, such as understanding what attributes are required for importing your objects.
- 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, 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.
