When uploading a file to billing center, the system checks if the file conforms to the required format. The system checks the CSV file row by row for any empty field, missing column or incorrect format and displays its error message accordingly. The row with correct data will be saved in the database but the row with error will be skipped.
The following are the error messages you may encounter when uploading account, bill and payment file with incorrect data or format.
