Quickly, easily, and safely upload revised data to
QD
Data Loaders validate the data against genuine QAD logic.
If an error is found in the data during the upload, cells with errors are instantly highlighted, so the user can quickly identify and correct any problems before beginning the upload again.Data Loaders also use CIM load mechanism in the background. That means your Excel data is automatically entered into QAD just as if it had been manually keyed in, ensuring no partial upload of batched records ever occurs. If there is an error in any one record within the batch, Loaders will notify the user and won’t proceed with the batch upload until appropriate adjustments have been made.
