Last updated on JANUARY 22, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle Item Master - Version 12.1.3 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Items are being imported.  Some items import successfully while others are failing.
The concurrent request log shows the following message where &ITEM_NUMBER is replaced by the item's name.

&ITEM_NUMBER is an invalid value for Item Number based on System Item key flexfield segment(s) setup. Please provide a valid value for Item Number.


I am importing items.
If item number is all characters, it fails.
If item number is alphanumeric or numeric. it imports the item without any issue.

Steps

  1. Populate MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE and populate either the ITEM_NUMBER or the appropriate SEGMENT* columns with the item's name.
  2. Launch the Item Open Interface
  3. Review the concurrent request log or MTL_INTERFACE_ERRORS table and see the error.
