How to Manage Previous Imports

The Import History Management feature enables you to review, audit, troubleshoot, and if necessary reverse previously completed CSV transaction imports, providing complete visibility into data migration activities and ensuring accountability in your accounting records. Managing import history is critical for identifying and correcting import errors, tracking data sources for audit purposes, reversing duplicate or erroneous imports, and maintaining comprehensive documentation of how transactions entered your accounting system.

Exacc maintains detailed import records capturing the import date and time, source file name, target bank account, transaction counts, processing status, importing user identity, and granular transaction-level details for each CSV upload. The import history interface provides filtering and search capabilities enabling you to locate specific imports by date range, bank account, status, or user, whilst detailed drill-down views display individual transaction listings, error logs, validation warnings, and processing statistics for each import batch.

Error analysis tools highlight failed transactions with specific validation messages explaining issues like invalid date formats, non-numeric amounts, missing required fields, or column mapping errors, facilitating rapid identification of data quality problems requiring correction and re-import. Import reversal functionality enables undoing entire import batches when errors are discovered, duplicate imports occur, or transactions were posted to incorrect accounts, with impact analysis previewing affected transactions, account balance changes, and reconciliation status impacts before confirming reversal actions.
