When you finish entering information on the Job Import worksheet, the data should be validated before you actually update Job Cost.

To validate your data without updating Job Cost, choose Validate Only. When the validation is complete, the Job Cost Import Log appears, displaying any errors that were encountered during validation. Refer to Viewing the Job Cost Import Log file below for more information.
