Importing Trade Services Data
PIM Enterprise has a special import option designed specifically for Trade Services data.
Starting the Import
Select "Import" from the "File" menu or the Items tab to begin the import process, then "Trade Services Import".
Configuring the Import Source
Let PIM Enterprise know how your import file is set up.
- Select the Trader Services file that contains your import data.
- "Parse and Import Categories" will attempt to automap the categories from the import file to the PIM Enterprise data. You can still manually go through the mapping process if you choose by clicking "Next".
Mapping Import Data
Mapping the item, category and attribute data works exactly the same way as the Standard Import. The only exception is that on the "Product Details Field Mapping" page, several of the fields will be automatically mapped for you. Because the Trade Services data has a specific structure, PIM Enterprise will pre-map several fields for you. You can add additional mappings, or clear system generated mappings and map them manually if you'd like.
Completing the Import
On the screen after completing all of your mappings, you can save the mappings to be used again. This can make future imports a much quicker process.
Click "Finish" on the final screen to complete your import.
