On the right side of the screen, you will see a list of fields that can be imported.

Step 4: Data Validation

After clicking Import, the system will validate the Excel data.

Columns that match the required field names will be validated.

Columns that do not match will not be imported.

Example:

If the Product Code column appears white and is not validated, it means the column name does not match the required system field name.

What to Do in This Case:

1.Stop the import.

2.Correct the column name so it matches the system requirement exactly.
