Define Order Import Sources

You can define Order Import Sources from which to import order information. You can import historical orders, orders from other quote or sales systems, and changes to orders. Oracle Order Management recommends that you define a unique name for each source of order information you are importing. When you run the Order Import program, you can enter the source or sources for each execution. You can run Order Import for multiple sources at one time. This is step twelve of the Order Management Setup Steps.

Internal Sales Orders

If you are importing internal sales orders from Oracle Purchasing, you need to define an Order Import source to be used when you transfer the internal requisition information from Oracle Purchasing to create an internal sales order in Order Management.

You need to choose an Order Import source for internal requisitions/internal sales orders when you define purchasing options in Oracle Purchasing. You choose this same Order Import source as a parameter when you run the Order Import program in Order Management. See: Integrating Oracle Order Management Using Order Import, Oracle Manufacturing, Distribution, Sales and Service Open Interfaces Manual.

To define an Order Import source:

1. Navigate to the Order Import Sources window.
   Order Import Sources Window
   
2. Enter the Order Import source name and a description.
3. Check Enabled to activate the Order Import source.
4. Save your work.
