Import-ready
Describes an ESX file whose structure and codes will import into Xactimate cleanly, without errors.
On a real claim
Import-ready describes an ESX file whose structure and codes will import into Xactimate cleanly, without errors. On a claim an import-ready file saves the contractor from rebuilding the scope by hand and keeps the reviewer's numbers aligned with the damage. What goes wrong: a conversion that maps items to the wrong codes imports with prices that do not match the scope. Check that the codes, descriptions, and quantities are right before you rely on the file.
