Hi Joe, Yes, there was one alias to remove from the Company Alias form which would otherwise cause the manufacturer import to fail on the Square D company.
It also turns out that if you import DSL data to the product catalog/DSL and then remove the PDL staging form data then subsequent uploads of DSL patch data can't be imported. This is because the import doesn't check if model/versions already exist when the staging data is validated so it tries to create duplicates and fails.
