Data Import Log

The Data Import Log provides a way for you to review the results of an import operation and to identify errors and records that were not imported.

To use the log:

Select Utilities View Data Import Log from the File menu (also available from the Complete screen of the Data Import Wizard).
Select a date, and optionally time, from the Available Logs column on the left. You have the following options in the log:

The information for the selected import is shown in the window. Select Show Errors Only at the top of the window to make it easier to identify where errors occurred.
Click a hyperlink in an entry, if available, to take you to the corresponding program area where you can review the record in question.
Select Print from the bottom of the window to print the log.

When done, select Close.

If you used the default template, it is recommended that you also review the template (Filename: QB POS vn Import Template.xls in your C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Intuit\Point of Sale n.0 folder, where n = version number) to ensure that data was imported correctly. You may see the following flags on the inventory sheet of the template file, depending on the item import option you chose prior to importing:

XL Dup column

If the item is duplicated within the QB POS vn Import Template.xls file itself, the row number of the duplicate item is written in this column.

In QBPOS column

If the item is a duplicate of an item already in Point of Sale, then QBPOS is written in this column.
