You will find these options for Rows to Upload.
All Rows - This ignores whether an individual row is flagged, and uploads all
rows.
10. Uploading Data Using Oracle Web ADI
@RapidValue Solutions Page 9
Flagged Rows - When rows are typed into, a Flag symbol is entered
automatically into the Flagged column. If you cut and paste into the spreadsheet,
the flags will not automatically be entered. They can be forced into the column by
typing a Capital O, which generates the symbol. This can be dragged down using
the Excel Autofill facility.
Validate before Upload - This checks for valid account combinations before
submitting the Journal.
Automatically Submit Journal Import - This Triggers the Journal Import function in
General Ledger.
Create Summary Journals - Where Summary Accounting is employed, the
Summary Journals will be generated.
Descriptive Flex fields.
Do Not Import – This relates to any extra Descriptive Flex fields added to the
Journal Layout.
Import with Validation - This option allows for the extra Fields to be transferred,
with validation.
Import without Validation - Allows all data to transfer to the General Ledger.
Next, you need to click on Upload to initiate the Transfer to GL, and if the Automatically
Submit Journal Import option is checked, the General Ledger Journal import is
triggered. Confirmation of the success of the sending and the triggering of the import is
displayed.
