Import partner templates

Import partner templates

Partner templates can be imported in order to be further processed by the system. This article describes the standard procedures for importing partner templates with the help of the Business Integration Service (BIS) described in detail in the article Import data.

General

The purpose of a partner template is to allow a new partner to be generated based on this template. You enter defaults in the template into the selected fields that you want to use for all partners generated from this template.
Partner templates can be imported in XML and JSON formats.

Note
It is not possible to expand or change an existing partner template by importing additional data.

Data import comprises the following actions:

  • selection of attributes
  • import of a new partner template
Import data application with partner template data filter

Attributes

Attributes are the default values entered in the imported templates. For partner templates, a distinction must be made between two types attributes:

  • attributes that refer to the template itself
  • data that will be used subsequently for generating partners

Attributes are added for each partner template object. A user indicates which attributes are to be imported.
