Item Import
Overview
The Items Import process read files from ./Incoming/Items/ in the SFTP.
These files will be moved to the archive folder located
at./Incoming/Archive/Items/ before being processed in alphanumeric
order.
Note: If you're a newly-implementing customer on R23.3 or newer, the
loader includes Improved Item and Catalog Loaders for more info.Unique Keys
- Item ID
- Item Number
- Item Name
Supplier Item uniqueness is based on a combination of Supplier,
Supplier Part Num, and Contract.
Validations
You can use the SFTP loader to update:
-
Item NameusingItem Number. -
Item Numberusing theItem Name. -
Item NameandItem Numberby including bothSupplierandSupplier Part Num.
For supplier items, depending on the Item loader you use, we do a lookup based on:
-
Item NumberorNameplusSupplier(Standard or Background loader through the UI) orItem Number(Standard loader).
Note: You cannot update Contract Number or
Supplier Part Num on a supplier item.Item finder logic
Catalog Items are found with the following query terms, in the following order. If a match is found, that item is returned and Coupa stops searching.
-
Item Numbercan only match on one item. -
Manufacturer NameandManufacturer Part Numberreturn the first created matched item. -
Supplier Part NumberandSupplier Aux Part Number(andContractif present) return the last updated matched item. -
Catalog Item Namereturns last updated matched item.
If Supplier Part Number and/or Supplier Aux Part Number
are provided, Coupa first searches for an item with attached Supplier Item
that matches the provided attributes. This is necessary in cases where the instance is
configured with multiple Items with the same Item Name, but different
associated Supplier Item. If no match is found with a joined query, a query
with only item details are used as a fallback.
Supplier Part Number (and Supplier Aux Part Number)
default to the requisition or order line if provided in CSV. If the Supplier
Item exists, Supplier Part Number (and Supplier Aux Part
Number) default from the Supplier Item. Supplier Part Number
(and Supplier Aux Part Number) in CSV are used to try to find a supplier
item.
Note: For Supplier Item custom fields, add the prefix
Supplier Item before custom field name in the CSV file.Example:
- Custom field name:
Warehouse - Field name in CSV file:
Supplier Item Warehouse
