Hello everyone,
I wanted to share a tip on something that comes up quite often, issues regarding dialogue boxes in import scenarios.
For this example, I will use mass processing with the ‘Change ID’ action on Stock Items.
Import Scenario Mapping:
Now to the detail:
- Stock Item Summary <Key: InventoryCD> =[Item.InventoryCD] & <Action: cancel> - These are added to the system by default and should be kept active.
- Stock Item Summary Inventory ID = InventoryItem_inventoryCD - This selects the inventory item by it’s inventory id from the data provider and the data you are importing.
- Specify New ID <Dialog Answer> = ‘OK’ - This selects the answer to the dialogue box, in this case we want it to be OK so that the action continues to execution. If the use case was importing contacts and you wanted to stop execution for records which were duplicates, you could mark this as =’Cancel’.
- Specify New ID Inventory ID = {New Inventory ID Value} - This assigns the new Inventory ID value.
- Stock Item Summary <Action: Change ID> - This is the action being executed. Note: This action execution must be places after the values for <Dialog Answer> & Specify New ID Inventory ID are assigned; if the values are not present before execution this will not work.
- Stock Item Summary <Action: Save> - This saves your changes.
If you have any specific cases you need help with, feel free to leave them in the comments!
I hope this helps someone!
