- Fill the required and the mandatory fields in the migration file
- Upload the Migration File

Cause
For the Resource XYZ, the Cost Rate and Cost Unit fields are left blank/ empty in the Valuation Cost Rates sheet of the migration file.
(where XYZ represents the Labor Resource ID in the migration file)
Resolution
As per the standard behavior, system does not allow to maintain blank/empty Cost Rate and Cost Unit. If the purpose is to derive Cost Rate from the Service, then delimit existing Cost Rates of the Resources.
Example:
If no Cost Rate valuation is required from Resource XYZ from DD2.MM2.YYYY2, then delimit the validity to DD1.MM1.YYYY1 Thereafter, the system will use the Cost Rate from the Service.
