What should you do if you encounter import errors in Xero?

When encountering import errors in Xero, checking the date format and removing blank statement lines is crucial for ensuring that the data is correctly processed. Xero often requires specific formatting for dates—typically the format must be a recognizable standard, such as DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY, depending on your locale settings. If the date format does not match what Xero expects, it can lead to import errors.

Additionally, blank statement lines in the import file can confuse the system, leading to failed imports or misinterpretation of the data structure. By removing these blank lines, you help Xero clearly understand the start and end of your data entries, allowing for a smoother import process.

Making these checks and modifications increases the chances of a successful import, allowing you to effectively load your data into the system without errors.
