Learning Path - Supplier Imports - Testing the Upload

The Mission

Now that everything is uploaded and mapped, let's see how it's going.  In this step we will run the file and see where we have it right and where tweaking is needed.  If you end up seeing several errors at this stage, don't despair, it will get easier.  It's recommended that you split the file based on what you are trying to do.  This will help you quickly identify things that may not be quite right and get them updated before moving onto the next challenge.  

Testing the Upload

1. The top item in the listing will be the template file you loaded in the last step.  Don't panic - we will report back successes and failures, no data will be populated at this point, click away.
2. Click on the "Review" button
3.  On the page where it loaded, you will see Total Items, Processed, Pending, and Failed
   1. 1. Hovering over the "Failed" status will show you know the failure reason
4. At this point, you can choose to:
   1. 1. Remove the failed items by clicking the "Remove" button
      2. Hit back and after making changes to your file, re-upload the file, then re-review
5. Once you are happy with your file, it's time to move on to processing

Common Errors

  • The PO number, line or release number is incorrect
  • The PO number, line or release has been closed, canceled or deleted
