Using Record Filtering For Catalog Import

In the MDM Import Manager, open the Match Records tab.
In the Value matching frame, select the relevant mapped destination fields (for example, Supplier and Supplier Part Number) and add them to the Matching Fields frame.
In the Records menu, select the Set Filter option.
A dialog window opens where you can select available filter values.
Select the relevant value(s) representing the supplier(s) available in your import data.

Note

In the matching step of your catalog import you can set a supplier filter (for example, Supplier 1000) and use it in combination with specific matching fields.

The record matching only considers fields assigned to a lookup table. According to the filter criteria, the system selects in the source (import file) and the destination data (catalog repository) either all or only a subset of the available catalog item records.

Using the match class Filtered and the match types source and destination, you can completely replace a supplier catalog.

End of the note.

Set the match class Filtered and the relevant match type:

You can set the following default import actions as listed in the table below:

Default Import Actions
Match Class	Match Type	Default Import Action	Comment
Filtered	Source	Create	This grouping contains all catalog items that are to be newly created in the catalog repository.
Filtered	Destination	Delete	This grouping contains all catalog items that are to be deleted in the catalog repository.
