Errors

Because of the very large volume of Imported data that can occur for Calls and Usage Imports, the Error reporting is done very differently. For other Imports, if an Error happens, the Error is reported in the Imported Records grid. For Calls and Usage, the Error is stored as a code in the Call or Usage record. The available codes are in this list. This list is shared for Calls and Usage. Some of these are specifically for Calls and never happen for Usage.
