IMPORTING JOBS
Hi
At the end of every year we archive the current year's jobs list - by exporting, changing the Sub Job to an Archive header made and making them an Inactive Job. As we have over 2100 jobs it is usually so much quicker to export, make the changes and import the changes.
When doing it this year it took many hours for the import to finish and it did not work successfully (by selecting Match All). I restored the back up file and have tried again by cutting down the number of items in the import list.
The results of the import: 2 records imported without errors, 1 record imported with warning, 67 records skipped. These results were from selecting Auto Match.
I would appreciate any help. I have attached the file I imported and the import log.
I will be restoring the back up file again.
Thanks.
Hi CropServ
Thank you for the details and files.
I tested importing your job file with AccountRight v2022.6 sample company file by creating a header account called 'ARCHIV2021-2022', all jobs imported successfully (with some warnings).
I think the problem you are having resides with job 'ARCHIV2021-2022' in your company file, it needs to be a header job in order to move all the other jobs under it, and error -4131 indicates that it cannot be made into a header because this job has allocations in your transactions files. If that is the case, you can look into renaming it then create a new header account with the desired name then move the jobs under it. And I do suggest using 'Auto match' instead of 'Match all'.
Please feel free to let us know how you go.
