- When a CDIF file is uploaded using the “Delete and Load” option, the system is designed to remove existing records and replace them with the new data from the uploaded file.
- However, this behavior depends on whether there are validation errors in the respective tabs:
- If a tab has no validation errors, the system deletes the existing data for that tab and replaces it with the new data from the CDIF file.
- If a tab has validation errors, the system does not delete the existing data. Instead, it appends the new data, and the existing records remain unchanged for that specific tab.
- In addition, different contact fields behave differently during the upload:
- Supplier Contacts are retained even if not present in the new file
- Supplier Emergency Contacts are replaced based on the latest upload
- Site Emergency Contacts are replaced based on the latest upload
- As a result, depending on the validation status and contact type, existing data may either be retained or replaced after the upload.
