1 This number is for reference purposes only and will not appear in the actual text file.

2 If the file format is tab or semi-colon delimited, any characters over the specified length will be cut off at the length limit.
If the file format is fixed length (column position) each field must be the exact length shown in the Maximum Field Length column. It cannot be longer or shorter.

3 If the field doesn’t start in the character position specified, it will create an error and potentially prohibit the transaction from being imported.

4 If the Discount Override has a value of 8, then the discount used will be the amount in the Discount Amount field. (0-No Discount; 1-Discount #1; 2-Discount #2; 3-Discount #3; 4-Discount #4; 5-Discount #5; 8‑Special Discount; 9-Normal Discount).
