  The SAP error message CNV_CDMC_UCIA155 indicates that the system is expecting a file in CSV format, but the file provided has a different format or extension. The message specifically states that the format of the file should be .csv, but it is currently recognized as .&1, where &1 is a placeholder for the actual file extension or type that was detected.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect File Extension: The file you are trying to upload or process does not have the correct .csv extension.
  File Format: The content of the file may not be in the expected CSV format, even if the extension is correct.
  File Naming Issues: The file might have been renamed incorrectly or saved in a different format (e.g., Excel, text) that does not conform to CSV standards.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check File Extension: Ensure that the file you are trying to upload has the .csv extension. If it does not, rename the file to have the correct extension.
  Verify File Format: Open the file in a text editor (like Notepad) to confirm that it is indeed in CSV format. A CSV file should have values separated by commas (or another delimiter) and should not contain any special formatting or binary data.
  Re-save the File: If the file was created in a program like Excel, make sure to save it as a CSV file. In Excel, you can do this by selecting "Save As" and choosing the CSV format from the file type options.
  Check for Hidden Characters: Sometimes, files may contain hidden characters or formatting that can cause issues. Ensure that the file is clean and adheres to the CSV format.
  Use a Different Tool: If you are still having issues, consider using a different tool to create or convert the file to CSV format.
  
  Related Information:
  
  CSV Format: CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a simple file format used to store tabular data, such as a spreadsheet or database. Each line in the file corresponds to a row in the table, and each value is separated by a comma.

  SAP Notes and Documentation: If the issue persists, you may want to check SAP Notes or documentation related to the specific transaction or process you are working with for additional troubleshooting steps.
