To cancel a data import batch

The procedure to cancel a data import batch is as follows:

1. Navigate to Quick Menu > System > File Import and Export > File Import and Export. The File Import and Export Batch Details window is displayed.
2. Expand an import type subheading from within the nested status structure and select an associated batch reference from the numerical list (or type a matching attribute into the Search File Import and Export Batches field). By default the list is filtered to show Open batches. An alternative filter can be applied using the Select view drop-down field: Created, Imported, Part Posted, Posted, Cancelled or All 1.
3. Click on Cancel 2. The status of the data import batch is set to Cancelled 3.

Note

1 The Search File Import and Export Batches field will match against any element of the import type description or batch reference number.

2 It is only permitted to cancel a data import batch where the status is set to Created or Imported.

3 Once cancelled, a data import batch cannot be amended further; the associated data set can only then be imported via the creation of a subsequent batch.
