1. Go to the Data Workbench work center.
2. Click on Import.
3. Select the Individual Business Object radio button.
4. Search for Product Categories in the object list.
5. Click on Next.
6. Upload your template.
7. Click on Next until you reach the Import button.
8. Go to the Monitor view and see the import has failed, with the error message mentioned in the Symptom section.

In the CSV template, you may be creating subcategories directly under ROOT, if you are creating these subcategories directly under ROOT the 'Parent_Product_Category_ID' value should be 'ROOT', instead of empty.

To solve the error, add the value ROOT to the 'Parent_Product_Category_ID' of the subcategories you wish to create directly under ROOT and import the file again.
