Upload Failed

  • If the upload fails, this may mean that mandatory fields are missing. If this happens, the user should ensure that all the required fields are filled out before uploading the file.

Incorrect Data Format

  • This may mean that the wrong template was used. If this happens, the user should ensure that the template used is the one provided in the “Upload via Files” button.

Export File is Empty

  • This means that the template doesn’t have any information available. The user should verify that the product data exists in the system.
