This error indicates that the file being uploaded does not conform to the expected format or structure required by the SAP system.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect File Format: The file may not be in the expected format (e.g., CSV, TXT, etc.). Ensure that the file type matches the requirements.
  Data Structure Issues: The structure of the data within the file may not align with the expected fields and data types. For example, missing columns, incorrect data types, or additional unexpected columns can trigger this error.
  Encoding Issues: The file may be saved with an incorrect character encoding (e.g., UTF-8 vs. ANSI), which can lead to misinterpretation of the data.
  Field Length Exceeded: Some fields may have a maximum length, and if the data exceeds this length, it can cause the error.
  Delimiter Issues: If the file uses a different delimiter than what SAP expects (e.g., using semicolons instead of commas), it can lead to parsing errors.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check File Format: Ensure that the file is in the correct format as specified by SAP documentation. Convert the file to the required format if necessary.

  Field Length Check: Verify that the data in each field does not exceed the maximum length allowed by SAP.
  Delimiter Consistency: Ensure that the correct delimiter is used throughout the file. If SAP expects a comma, ensure that all fields are separated by commas.
