Imports in the Approval Stage

Do not leave imports in the approval stage for a long period. Imported records are saved as draft, and the visibility of drafts is limited to the process which created it.

Such records are not visible to other processes including other imports. The longer the records stay in the draft state, the higher the chance of conflicts.

Multiple pending imports and conflicts usually lead to different outcomes depending on which records are approved first. Once the records enter conflicts, it is difficult to manage the conflicts and to predict the outcome.
