issue

A module-to-module import fails with the following error:

"Import into <XX> module failed: The dimensions in the target module do not match the import definition" 

The specific conditions that cause the error are as follows:

  • Source module has an extra dimension (List)
  • Target module has a Subsidiary View
  • Both source and target Line Items are of the same format (Text, Time Period, List)

Note: If the format in the 3rd point above is either Boolean or Number, the module-to-module import will be successful because booleans and numbers are not truly blank when they have no value. They are set to False/0.

workaround

To work around this issue:

  • There must be a cell value in the source Line Item.
  • Add source module list as an 'Applies To' to the target Line Item and re-map the import.

If this workaround is not suitable in your use case, please contact our Care team.
