Import formats are not used until they are assigned to locations.
To assign import formats to locations:
From the FDM Web client, Select Metadata > Locations.
The Locations screen is displayed.
Select a location.
Select the Workflow Behaviors tab.
From Import Format, select an import format.
Click Save.
The selected format is used every time a trial balance is imported for the location. One format can be used for many locations. If your company has a standard trial balance file format, all locations can share one import format.
