File-Based Data Import (FBDI) for Supply Orders
Use FBDI to import supply orders with lines.
Use this process to import and upload supply-order data:
- Use the Process Supply Chain Orchestration
Interface scheduled process to import the data.
The resulting input item data file is a comma-separated values (CSV) file.
- Upload the CSV file to the UCM account (
scm/supplyOrder/import) using the Load Interface File for Import scheduled process.
Key Features
- Supports the import of large-volume supply orders.
- Supports asynchronous automated integration between systems.
Best Practices
- Use a unique interface batch number for every upload.
- Recommended for large volumes of supply orders that exceed 1,000 order lines per hour.
- Recommended for orders containing large numbers of lines. Typically, greater than 50 lines in an order.
- To improve the throughput, increase the number of child jobs.
- Run the Process Supply Chain Orchestration Interface scheduled process only after the FBDI is processed successfully.
Additional Comments
The CSV file format is the recommended integration pattern for customers who can batch the orders and import them at predetermined time intervals.
