  3. System generates error 

Cause

Position and Regular/Temp fields are set to mandatory under Job Info parent configuration.

Resolution

Imports respect parent configuration from JobInfo not JobInfo_Contingent under Manage Business Configurations. You will either have to configure these fields in JobInfo_Contingent or set these fields to non-mandatory for JobInfo. 

If you still require these fields to be set as mandatory for JobInfo then you will have to do it via Manage Business Rules.
