Stakeholders and owners must have the correct Category Planner permissions in Coupa to be added to categories. If they don't have the correct permissions, the Category bulk loader doesn't add them to the category. For more information, see Understand Category Planner Roles and Permissions.

The following values must already exist in Coupa:

• Commodities List

• Stakeholder Name:Stakeholder Department

• Owner Name:Owner Department

• Analytics Mapping Name

Commodities List, Stakeholder Name:Stakeholder Department, and Owner Name:Owner Department are semicolon (;) separated. The rest of the fields are comma (,) separated.

When you use the Category loader to add stakeholders and owners, it generates custom departments with the values you specify.
