Import Your Sales Territory Line of Business Data

You can use Import Management to create or delete Sales Territory Line of Business records.

To import Sales Territory Line of Business 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 Object Attributes

To import your Sales Territory Line of Business data into Oracle Applications Cloud, you must 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 setups are done, if applicable.

• Understand your options for uniquely identifying the records.

• Ensure parent records exist before importing child records.

  • When creating a territory, the sales territory import file must be imported before importing the sales territory resource, sales territory coverage, or sales territory line of business import files.

• 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 for uniquely identifying an object record is through the Public unique identifier. If you're creating new records, then you can provide the appropriate user-friendly public unique identifiers (attributes denoted with 'Number' and usually visible in the business object's UI). For the Sales Territory Line of Business object, the attributes are UniqueTerritoryNumber and LobCode. If you delete a sales territory line of business record, you can use a combination of the UniqueTerritoryNumber and LobCode attributes to identify the appropriate record.

Required Attributes and Validations for Sales Territory Line of Business 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 Sales Territory Line of Business records, required attributes for deleting Sales Territory Line of Business records, prerequisite setup tasks for the attributes, and specific validations, if any, for Sales Territory Line of Business import:

Attribute	Description	Data Type	Prerequisite Setup Task/ Import Validations	Creating a Sales Territory Line of Business Record	Deleting an Existing Sales Territory Line of Business Record
UniqueTerritoryNumber	The public unique identifier number of the territory	Text	Not applicable	Required	Required

You can view the Sales Territory Line of Business object 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 Sales Territory Line of Business 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

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

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

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

8. 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.
