How Do I Import Financials?

Importing financials allows users an efficient way to return the exported data to the Devensoft platform.  In this scenario, the user has exported the financial data to Excel and made the necessary updates in the spreadsheet.  Now it's time to import the data from Excel back into the financial module of a Target.

Please note that in order to perform an Import, the user must have the Import permission selected on their User Detail page.  If the Import button is not displayed on the Financials page, the user does not have permission to import and will need to contact their Devensoft Administrator to request access.
