Use this format to import burden codes from outside MPM. You can create new or update existing burden codes. Importing burden codes will not replace existing burden codes in their entirety. Any burden codes not affected by the import file remain unchanged by the import.
Burden Code (type C) records must be imported before Burden Rate (type R) records in your import file.
Field Positions 5 through 9 are ignored and should be left blank. Be sure you have the correct number of commas.
To successfully import your data, the import file has be in comma delimited ASCII file format.
