# Import statuses (Sources/Mandates)




## Sources and External Mandates can be created via import. Imports have statuses. Once an import is validated and processed, it creates the desired objects.



In LotusPay, you can create  [sources](https://juspay.io/in/docs/lotuspay/web/dashboard-flow/create-sources-via-batch-file-import) (if you have API access) and [external mandates](https://juspay.io/in/docs/lotuspay/web/knowledge-base/importing-external-mandates) (by invite only) by uploading files in the dashboard. Imports get validated and then processed.

To view the import, go to Settings > Imports and then select the import that you want to view.


## Import statuses



Import is created in **validating**  status. If all rows are bad it goes to **invalidated** . A **validated_full**  or **validated_partial**  import can be **cancelled**  or you can click on process to take it to **processing** , then it reaches **processed** . Refresh the page to see the current status.

**validating** 

* The import is being verified by our system. This takes a few seconds for less than 100 rows, or a few minutes for thousands of records.
* Possible previous statuses: none
* Possible next statuses: **validated_full** or **validated_partial**

**invalidated** 

* The import contains one or more bad rows. The bad rows cannot be processed. If the import has max 500 bad rows, you can continue to process the good rows only by clicking on 'Process'.
* Possible previous statuses: **validating**
* Possible next statuses: **cancelled** , **processing**

**validated_full** or **validated_partial** 

* The import contains all or some good rows. You can continue to create the objects by clicking on 'Process'. You can review the errors on this page.
* Possible previous statuses: **validating**
* Possible next statuses: **cancelled** , **processing**

**cancelled** 

* You clicked on 'Cancel' on a **validated_partial**  or **validated_full**  import, or you left it two days and our system automatically cancelled it. Nothing further can be done with this import. You should always cancel unused partially **invalidated**  imports to prevent anyone from accidentally processing them.
* Possible previous statuses: **invalidated** , **validated_partial** , **validated_full**
* Possible next statuses: none

**processing** 

* You clicked on the 'Process' button and the **validated_partial**  or **validated_full**  import is creating objects.
* Possible previous statuses: **invalidated** , **validated_partial** , **validated_full**
* Possible next statuses: **processed**

**processed** 

* The import is complete and all good rows have created objects.
* Possible previous statuses: **processing**
* Possible next statuses: none
