No source configured.

Error message

No source configured.

What it means

Configuration sentinel in CompanyImport: the import/preview flow reached a point where it needs an import source (selected package file or transfer), but none is configured — the user has not chosen a package yet, so the request cannot be built.

  // Monotonic id for preview requests. Structural configuration changes bump
