After uploading your file, SourceDay will check your data and highlight any issues that need to be resolved before processing.
Errors are common and can be fixed before submitting your import.
What happens during validation
SourceDay reviews your file and identifies:
- Missing required information
- Incorrect formatting (such as dates or numbers)
- Values that do not match existing PO data
You will see a list of errors along with the affected rows.
How to review errors
In the validation step:
- Rows with errors will be highlighted
- Error messages will explain what needs to be fixed
- You can review issues directly in the preview
This allows you to quickly identify what needs attention.
How to fix errors
You can fix errors in two ways:
Option 1: fix directly in SourceDay
- Click into the affected field
- Update the value
- Save your changes
This is the fastest option for small fixes.
Option 2: update your file and upload
- Download or open your original file
- Correct the errors
- Upload the file again
This is helpful if you have many rows to update.
Exclude rows if needed
If you do not want to fix certain rows, you can exclude them from the import.
- Excluded rows will not be processed
- Remaining rows can still be submitted
What happens after errors are resolved
Once all required issues are fixed:
- You can submit your import
- SourceDay will apply your updates to the PO lines
- Buyers will see your updates immediately
Important notes
- No changes are applied until you submit the import
- You can review and adjust your data as many times as needed
- Errors are meant to help ensure your updates are accurate
