The journal import field reads a CSV or TSV into the open editor so its rows can be validated. The file input explains that the file stays in that editor. Applying the validated rows prepares the form; saving the draft records the journal's accounting contents through the normal journal workflow.
Do not treat this import as a document-attachment feature. If the original working paper needs to be retained as evidence, keep it in the company's approved document process and identify it in the journal reason where appropriate. The imported rows alone may not explain how an adjustment was calculated.
Review the preview before applying it, especially if the file contains sensitive text in line descriptions. Only include information needed to understand the accounting entry. Journal visibility follows the company's permissions, including restrictions that can hide financial or payroll descriptions from some readers.
After saving, reopen the request to verify its lines. Selecting a file, reading it successfully or seeing a preview does not mean a journal was saved, posted or attached to another record. Check each intended result separately.
