Import Manufacturers

Manufacturers (Trading Partners) can either be added manually or imported. This topic describes how to import manufacturers into the Product Development work area.

Note: If you need to migrate only a small number of manufacturers, you can just create them manually through the Product Development interface pages.

The manufacturer object belongs to Oracle Customer Relationship Management Cloud (CRM), so the import process is different.

To import manufacturers:

1. Navigate to Tools > Import Management.
2. In Import Management, search for the Organization template on the Import Objects tab and click the Download icon.
3. Extract the downloaded CSV file and open the template.
4. Fill in the template columns with values mapped as shown in the table:

   Spreadsheet Column Title	Manufacturer Attribute
   PartyNumber	Registry ID
   OrganizationName	Manufacturer
   Comments	Manufacturer Description
   PartyUsageCode	MANUFACTURER
   Country	Country (two-digit code: USA > US)
   Addresss1	Address Line1
   Address 2	Address Line 2
   City	City
   State	State
   Postal Code	Postal Code
   Raw Phone Number	Primary Phone Number

5. After you enter manufacturer data into the template, go back to the Import Queue tab in Import Management and click Create Import Activity.
6. Enter a name and description, set the Object to Organization, and add the CSV file you just filled out.
7. Click Next and apply Automatic Mapping.
8. Click Next and then click Submit. After the import completes, your manufacturers will be available in the Product Development work area.
