When importing an AutoCare PIES (Product Information Exchange Standard) file many STEP validation rules are performed. The table below describes each of these validation rules, where the validation check occurs, what happens when a validation fails, and an example of a failed validation message (when applicable). However, it does not detail the file type's data rules per the AutoCare Association. This information can be found at www.autocare.org.
For information on the supported versions, refer to the Supported Versions and Formats topic within this guide.
Important: For best results, AutoCare imports should be executed in the order specified within the AutoCare Importers topic.
Accepted File Extension: .xml and .zip (containing .xml files)
