Solution

Perform the following steps:

  1. Verify the error message: 
    • Navigate to the import page and review the error details.
    • Hover over the status to view the error message.
  2. Check file location for first-time imports: 
    • Confirm that the file exists in the specified SFTP location.
    • If this error occurs during the first import attempt, ensure the file is placed in the correct folder.
  3. Check for duplicate processing in periodic imports: 
    • For periodic imports, this error may occur if the file was already processed as part of another import.
  4. Best practices for file management: 
    • Ensure each file is processed in only one import.
    • If the same file needs to be used for multiple imports, assign unique file names or store the files in separate folder paths.
