Importing Items for a Trading Partner

To simplify the creation of the Item Catalog, Transaction Manager includes to import this information from an external file. To do this, modify a text-based file to match the comma-separated format of Transaction Manager's import file type and use the  Import control to populate the table. 

Before importing, you may want to export your catalog to a .csv file to serve as a template for the formatted records.

To import items for a trading partner from a formatted .csv file:

1. Select a trading partner for editing.

2. Select Translations   on the action bar and then select Item Catalog from the dropdown options. The Item Catalog displays in the Trading Partners workspace.
   
   

3. Click the  Import control on the action bar.

4. When prompted, indicate if the imported file contains column headers.
   
   
   
   This launches your browser’s Open dialog for uploading a file.
   
   

5. Locate the file and click Open. The new records are added to the Item Catalog.

6. Select  Save on the action bar to save your changes.
