  Solution:
  
  Check File Format: Ensure that the file you are trying to upload is in a supported format. Refer to the SAP documentation or the specific transaction you are using to confirm the acceptable formats.
  Convert File: If the file is in an unsupported format, convert it to a supported format (e.g., from XLSX to CSV).
  Verify File Structure: Open the file in a text editor or spreadsheet application to ensure that it is structured correctly. For CSV files, ensure that the delimiter is correct and that there are no extra characters or formatting issues.
  Check Configuration: If you have access, check the configuration settings in SAP to ensure that the file types you are trying to use are allowed.
  Test with Sample File: Try uploading a sample file that is known to work to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is with the specific file or a broader issue with the system.
