    Delimited (CSV, XLS, XLSX) / Fixed Length

    2. Can a file upload fail, before generating a File Reference Number?

    Yes, the system checks the uploaded file for errors before creating a file reference number. If any validations do not pass, an error message will appear on the screen, and the file reference number will not be created.

    Validations involve checking the maximum size, ensuring the file is not harmful; confirming it is not a duplicate, verifying it has the right extension, and checking that it is not empty, among other things.
