Note: Let's assume that you're loading an ElementEntryWithCosting.dat file to create 50 element entries. The HCM Data Loader application loads the valid element entries. However, some of the 50 element entries fail. You correct the underlying issue and now need to submit the load process again to load the previously failed records. On the Import and Load Data page, select your data set and select the Element Entry With Costing business object within it. Click Submit to submit the process with an action of Load. If you're using HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader, click Upload to submit previously failed records. If you import the file again after supplying the user keys, you'll get new element entries, provided the element type supports multiple entries in a period.You're recommended to supply source keys when using HCM Data Loader. The source key can then be used to identify the element entry, entry value, or costing record when you want to maintain or delete it.For the load to be successful, the costing segment value must be active as on the load date.
