- Review Data Structure: Check the structure of the data in the file to ensure it matches the expected format. This may include checking delimiters, headers, and data types.
- Change File Encoding: If encoding is an issue, try saving the file in a different encoding format (e.g., UTF-8) using a text editor or spreadsheet application.
- Use Correct Transaction Code: Ensure you are using the appropriate transaction code for the type of import you are performing. Refer to SAP documentation for guidance.
- Test with Sample Data: If possible, test the import with a small sample file that is known to work to isolate the issue.
