  • You may also utilize the 'Job Progress' drop-down to filter by job status. Click 'Apply' to implement the chosen filters.
  • You will now be able to view your import history. 
    Additionally, you can export these files and execute a "rollback" in case you've made errors and wish to revert to your previous data.

2. To upload a new import file onto Spend Manager, click the button labelled 'Import'.

3. Utilize the drop-down filter to choose the 'Import Type' you wish to perform.
