Catalog Bulk Load Process

Question

Hi
Where can I find the spreadsheet templates (ItemPrice.txt, Item.txt, Price.txt) to bulkload catalog items in iProcurement?
Thanks!

Hi,
Before loading catalogs you have to define the mapping hierarchy (Browsing, Item). The end level should be item.
PEN ( Level 1 -- Browsing item)
-- GELL PENS ( Level 2 Item)
-- BALL POINT PENS (Level 2 Item)
-- INK PENS (Level 2 Item)
This is the navigation
internet procurement catalag admin responsibility --> eContent Manager -->Manage Category hierarchy (PEN ( Level 1 -- Browsing item))
using these declare the browsing and use the Manage Item Categories declare the item categories ( -- BALL POINT PENS (Level 2 Item)
-- INK PENS (Level 2 Item))
Then you goto Manage category Hierarchy and assign the 2 items ( BALL POINT PENS ,INK PENS).
Once you declare the structure, map the categories with purchasing categories using Map Oracle purchasing categories.
Then you have to rebuild the index usingthe below command.
Navigation:     N > Setup > E-Catalog Admin > Loader Values
Description:This report is run to extract all Purchasing Categories that are web enabled from core PO to iProcurement. In the loader values screen just click ‘Extract Classifications’ for the extract to be done.
Notes: View the output of this report to check that everything worked OK and there were no errors. It may be necessary to first Drop and then Rebuild the Intermedia Index on the database before this process works for the first time. Script below:Exec icx_por_intermedia_index.drop_index
     .create_index.rebuild_index
Once it is done, you can load the categories using the upload items button.
goto purchasing-- view requestes. check the concrrent progarm status.
