STEP 5 – TARGET FIELD & DATA VALIDATION
The system will display the data in a table. A key ID selection of R_NUMBER will be set as the unique reference for asset/van
GREEN | entries are EXISTING benefit records in the system that will be updated/replaced (recognized by their R_NUMBER) |
WHITE | entries are NEW records being added to the system benefit database (not recognised by their R_NUMBER) |
PURPLE | entries are NEW employees so cannot be assigned benefits during this import process (not recognized by their PAYROLL number) |
Clicking the NEXT button, the system will begin to validate the data and any records failing validation rules will be referred to in a series of pop-up messages. Any resulting invalid records will be removed and saved to an error log file at the end of the import process.
STEP 6 – COMMIT DATA
The system will now commit the data & create the benefit records. The system will confirm the numbers of records to be added & updated and the total number of records from the source file.
If you would like to input some notes on the import you can do so in the Notes box inside of the window. Those notes will then be visible in the 'Log Files' screen.
CLICK FINISH
If your file contained no errors that need to be re-imported, simply click CANCEL to exit from the import wizard and return to the main P11D Organiser system.
STEP 7 - VALIDATION & REJECTED RECORDS
Any records removed during the validation process will be saved as an “Error file”
These error files can then be viewed and saved in MS EXCEL. Having made the necessary corrections and changes to the invalid records contained in the "error file" it can be used as a new source file to import the corrected records and complete the import for ALL RECORDS (initial load plus the subsequent "fixed" error records)
If your file contained no errors that need to be re-imported, simply click CANCEL to exit from the import wizard and return to the main P11D Organiser system.
SaveAS will allow you to save the error file to open and edit from File Explorer.
