    Cause:

    1. Data Mismatch: The values provided in the upload or posting do not correspond to the expected format or type defined in the column headers. This could be due to:

      • Incorrect data types (e.g., entering text in a numeric field).
      • Missing required fields.
      • Values that do not conform to predefined lists or formats (e.g., invalid account numbers).
