File-Based Data Import (FBDI)

Consider using FBDI to import standard cost data into Oracle Cost Management.

The standard cost data could be coming from:

• External sources.
• Users exporting the data from a prior period or quarter, making modifications in bulk, and then importing the changes.

Key Features

• Used only for inbound integration of data into Oracle Cost Management.
• Supports the import of large volumes of data into Oracle Cost Management.

Best Practices

• Use this option to import voluminous amounts of standard cost data into Oracle Cost Management during the initial migration stage, or on an ongoing basis in specific time intervals.
• You can also use this option to migrate standard cost data into Oracle Cost Management after transforming the data from legacy systems.
• Review the field/attribute level instructions provided in the templates before entering the data that needs to be imported.

Constraints

This option isn't suitable for importing data on a real-time basis.
