Problem importing Products from CSV file

[gaurav]

Hi
I have created new Import File Loader Format to import Products with lines as follows

Name Column name
A-Key Value_SearchKey
B-Name Name_Name
C-UOM C_UOM_ID_UOM
D-Description Description_Description
E-Product Type ProductType_ProductType

now when i import products using this loader it gives me error "ERR=Invalid BPartner," where the fileds of C_BPARTNER_ID , BPARTNER_VALUE can accept null value and are not madatory in table I_Product.....
Please tell me then why am i getting this error.....I do not want to import Business Partner from CSV file.
Please help.
Thank You

When u use the Import Products, the system will definitely check and map to the Business Partners first. U have to import Business Partners first. Otherwise u modify the ImportProduct.java not to check for valid BP IDs. But this is bad for the system as it assume that each Product's Vendor is a valid BP.
