Use validated lines applies the import preview to the current journal form. When the form already contains account, description or amount values, the editor requires you to confirm Replace current draft lines. The imported rows replace the form's existing lines rather than being added underneath them.
Compare the existing draft with the import before confirming. If the spreadsheet contains only an extra allocation, replacing the whole draft would omit the other lines. Prepare a complete balanced import or enter the additional line manually instead.
After choosing Use validated lines, inspect the resulting form and check its Accounting date and Journal reason. Those entry-level fields are separate from the imported rows. Select Save draft to retain the new version; applying a preview alone does not save or post the journal.
If you selected the wrong file, stop before saving and recover the correct source data. Do not post a replacement simply because it balances. The accounts, source references and full amounts should match the adjustment you intended to prepare.
