    Hi Sppokle 

     

    I have tried to import all your files in my sample file and they have imported with the job numbers successfully, and if it's not importing the jobs occassionally for you, check the following:

     

    1) Tick Warn if jobs are not assigned to all transactions under Setup>>Preferences>>System.

     

    2) When you open the import file in Excel, the Job field cells should be formatted to General. This is an important step as if the cells for this column are formatted to Text or Number, the job will be ignored in the final import regardless of any other setting.

     

    Let me know if you have further questions on this.

Hi

 

At the time the import error log gives a warning that it is not importing the job code. I have attached the original import file and then attached the import error log file.

 

I use the same file General for all my month-end journals and reversals, it only does this on some of my imports not all of my imports and yet all journals have the same layout.

 

SO for me, it is creating confusion as to why I then have to go back to amend all the journals to insert a job code

 

Kind Regards

Hi Sppokle , I see that the job numbers in your text file have spaces on either side, maybe removing those will help. (The amounts do as well, so this may not be the cause of the error on jobs).

 

Also, the field order appears to affect the import results in recent AccountRight versions. I attach a sample file which imported successfully; if you match that layout it may import without error.

    HI

     

    I use the same journal file to import all my journals for EOM but it is only about 3 /4 of those imports that it is creating an error log, this is what does not make sense. I have no issues with any of my other journals.

      Hi Sppokle 

       

      Apologies for delay in getting back to you.

      Generally this import warning is resolved by following suggestions given by Mike_James . In regards to your question regarding why this is just happening with one import and not others, we will need to compare the two import files. If you have already done so and nothing seems odd, we will report this to the developers so that they can figure out the cause if this recurs in the future for you or anybody else.
