And test the SMALL version first — one row, then ten, then the batch — because the cost of a mistake at row one and at row ten thousand are not comparable. Where there IS a way back, know it before you load. An unposted journal can be deleted; a supplier with no transactions can be made inactive; an interface row that was never imported can be purged.
