Import Your Subscription Party Data
You can use import management to create or update Subscription Party records.
To import Subscription Party records, perform the following tasks:
-
Map your source data to Oracle Applications Cloud object attributes.
-
Create source Comma Separated Values (CSV) file for import.
-
Create the import activity.
-
Review the import results.
How You Map Your Source Data to Target Object Attributes
To import your Subscription Party data into Oracle Applications Cloud, you need to 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, 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
To import data into Oracle Applications Cloud, your CSV file must include some specific attributes that enable the import process to uniquely identify the records. The file import process uses the attribute values to automatically map your source data to the target object attributes in Oracle Applications Cloud.
The preferred option for uniquely identifying an object record is through the Public unique identifier. If you're creating new records, then you can provide a user-friendly public unique identifier (attributes denoted with 'Number' and usually visible in the business object's UI). If you update a record for which you have previously provided a Number attribute, or for which a Number attribute is visible in the object's UI, you can use the Number attribute to identify the record. For the Subscription Party object, the attributes are Subscription PartyPUID, SubscriptionNumber, and PartyNumber.
Required Attributes and Validations for Subscription Party 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 importing new Subscription Party records, required attributes for updating Subscription Party records, prerequisite setup tasks for the attributes, and specific validations, if any, for Subscription Party import:

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:
-
Go to
. -
Select the Subscription Party object in the table and click Download.
You can now edit the downloaded file and provide valid values for the required attributes.
Create the Import Activity
After you have the CSV file ready, create an import activity to import the information. To create an import activity:
-
Go to

You would see that the source and target attributes are automatically mapped in the Map Fields page. Review and edit the mappings if required.
-
Check the file for unmapped columns or data format issues by clicking Validate Data. Click Next.
-
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:
-
Go to
. -
Click All Imports and search for the import activity that you created earlier.
