  The SAP error message FEB_BSIMP099 indicates that the system is unable to determine the format of the file you are trying to import or process. This typically occurs during the import of bank statement files or similar data files in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  File Format Issues: The file you are trying to upload may not be in a recognized format. This could be due to incorrect file extensions or the file being corrupted.
  Configuration Issues: The system may not have the necessary configuration to recognize the file format. This could be due to missing or incorrect settings in the bank statement configuration.
