Import Your Nonduplicate Data

You can use the import functionality to create or update Nonduplicate records.

To import Nonduplicate records, perform the following tasks:

1. Map your source data to Oracle Applications Cloud object attributes.

2. Create source Comma Separated Values (.csv) file for import.

3. Create the import activity.

4. Review the import results.

How You Map Your Source Data to Target Object Attributes

To import your Nonduplicate 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 steps are complete, such as understanding what attributes are required for importing your objects.

• 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 to uniquely identifying an object record is through the internal ID. If you're identifying a record that already exists in Oracle Applications Cloud, then you can use the internal ID of the record, a system-generated unique identifier Attributes with "id" in the attribute name are typically internal IDs. Use this option only if you're updating Nonduplicates. You can determine the internal ID of a record by exporting Oracle Applications Cloud object data, or by doing a transactional database query. Using an internal ID typically provides better performance and reduces the import duration. For the Nonduplicate object, the attribute is NonduplicateId.

Required Attributes and Validations for Nonduplicate 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.

The following table lists the required attributes for importing new Nonduplicate records, required attributes for updating Nonduplicate records, prerequisite setup tasks for the attributes, and specific validations, if any, for Nonduplicate import:

Attribute	Description	Data Type	Data Length	Prerequisite Setup Task/ Import Validations	Creating a Nonduplicate Record	Updating an Existing Nonduplicate Record
NonDuplicateId	The unique identifier of the non-duplicate record.	Long	18	No validation	Conditionally Required	Required
NonDuplicatePartyId	The internal unique identifier of the party associated with the non-duplicate record.	Long	18	No validation	Conditionally Required	You can't update the Nonduplicate.
NonDuplicatePartyNumber	The alternate key identifier of the party associated with the non-duplicate record.	String		The NonDuplicatePartyNumber is evaluated when you don't provide a value for the NonDuplicatePartyId.	Conditionally Required	You can't update the Nonduplicate
MasterPartyId	The unique identifier of the master party associated with the non-duplicate record.	Long	18	No validation	Conditionally Required	You can't update the Nonduplicate
MasterPartyNumber	The alternate key identifier of the master party associated with the non-duplicate record.	String		The MasterPartyNumber is evaluated when you don't provide a value for the MasterPartyId.	Conditionally Required	You can't update the Nonduplicate
StartDate	The date when the exclusion starts.	Date		No validation	Optional By default, the current date (sysdate) is considered.	You can't update the Nonduplicate
EndDate	The date when the exclusion ends.	Date		No validation	Optional By default, the date 31/12/4712 is considered.	Required

You can view the Nonduplicate object along with all its child objects and attributes in the Manage Import Objects page of the Import Management flow. You can find attribute information like type, length, description, and so on, on this page.

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:

1. Go to Navigator > Tools > Import Management > Import Objects.

2. Select the Nonduplicate object in the table and click Download.

You can now edit the downloaded file and provide valid values for the required attributes.

Note: For help in populating the CSV file and to avoid any issues in entering values, see the topic Potential Issues When Opening CSV Files With Excel in Related Topics section.

Create the Import Activity

After you have the CSV file ready, create an import activity to import the information. To create an import activity:

1. Go to Navigator > Tools > Import Management > Import Queue.

2. Click Create Import Activity in the Manage Imports page.

3. In the Enter Import Options page, provide a name for the import activity, and select Nonduplicate from the Object drop-down list.

4. Select the CSV file in the File Name field, and click Next.

5. You would see that the source and target attributes are automatically mapped in the Map Fields page. Review and edit the mappings if required.

6. Check the file for unmapped columns or data format issues by clicking Validate Data. Click Next.

7. 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:

1. Go to Navigator > Tools > Import Management > Import Queue.

2. Click All Imports and search for the import activity that you created earlier.

3. Check the Status column for the import activity. The import is successful if the status displays as Completed. You can drill down on the import activity to go to the Import Status page which provides the status details of the import activity.
