Importing cost divisions

If you have a cost division list from another source, you can import it. Arrange the data in the following order: Division# and Description. Then save the file using a comma delimited (*.cma), tab delimited (*.tab), or comma-quote (*.qte) format. You can also copy and paste from a spreadsheet using the clipboard (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V).
