Item Batch Import and Scheduling Options

Item batch import and scheduling options let you set the schedule of the import and specify item cross-references imports.

Cross-References Only

If you select Cross-References Only in the Create Item Batch dialog, then no source system data is imported. A cross-reference of the source system item is created with a matched, new, or cross-referenced item in the Oracle Product Hub.

Note: You can only select the Cross-References Only option when creating an item batch. If the source system specified in the item batch definition is Product Information Management Data Hub, then the Cross-References Only option isn't available for selection.

If you select Cross-References Only, then item batch options for new item requests and change orders aren't available. However, options can be set for structures and packs.

Schedule

Determine when the data specified in the item batch will be imported.

• On Data Load: Import process is run immediately at the time of data upload.

• Manual (default): Lets you import the data at a later time.

• Specify Date and Time: Lets you specify the date and time to import the confirmed items or structures in the item batch

Process Items

The Process Items option determines if the Items are to be imported individually or as a bundle. If the bundle option is chosen, then all items in the bundle will be not be imported even if one of the items fails import validations. This option is typically used when importing data from a GDSN data pool.
