Fixing import errors
When you import a file, IBM® Controller verifies the journals in imported file against the import specification. In the Review error tab, you can fix mapping errors and other type of errors.
About this task
There are two types of errors:
- Mapping
- Mapping errors occur when there are values missing from the lookup table used in the import specification. You can fix these errors immediately by editing the lookup table from within the Review errors tab.
- Other
- Other errors are related to the import specification and the file that you try to import (for instance you cannot import a journal on companies for which you don’t have access rights, on dimensions that are not linked to the account, a journal that is not balanced).
Note: You can import the file without fixing the errors. The record (journal) that have errors will
not be imported if the option Reject unbalanced journals is selected.
Procedure
Import the file without fixing errors
