Return XML: Imports

For imports, the customer defines the document id combinations and associated data field values in the import file. This file is processed record-by-record against the appropriate tax application *Build_Report. If the document ID in the import record is not located in the *Build_Report, the import file data field value stops the import up front. No part of the import file will import. Another reason an import might fail is if the XML file used for the import is not well formed or valid. As part of the import process, the import file will be compared against the *Schema.XSD. The *Schema.XSD file contains the business rules for well formed, valid XML files.

While constants and carried values are not exported, data values can be imported into the tax return data fields populated by constants and carried values. Imports of this type result in an override symbol being displayed in the Organizer screen. The color of the override symbol resulting from a Return XML import is consistent with that resulting from the manual keyboard entry of an override value.

An exception is that override symbols are not displayed for drop-down and radio button options.
