Overview of Item Batches

A product data steward can import items and related entities such as structures, packs, category assignments and trading partner item references from multiple product source systems using an item batch.

The following options are available for item batches:

• Import options let you schedule the batch loads and specify policies for governance, new item requests, and product changes.

• Data quality options for item batches let you categorize items, standardize attribute data, and match item data to ensure clean, consistent data during batch import.

You can add and modify item data to batches using a spreadsheet, XML, CSV or any other delimited files or using industry standard open interface tables.
