Updated over 2 months ago

When uploading a CSV file for Manual Journal creation, you might experience certain errors.

Below, you'll find details on what to then check and the corresponding solutions:


Check


Reason/Solution

The file must be a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file; its name should end with either .csv or .txt.

The file format is not CSV. You need to upload a file in the CSV format.

The file structure and data must meet the requirements for a CSV upload.

The data in your file does not match the required template. Please ensure that your file follows the correct format. Apply the necessary fixes and reupload the file.

Your file must contain only accounts supported by Xero Manual Journals.

Xero does not allow the use of some system accounts (incl. payables and receivables) or bank accounts in Manual Journals. Change the respective accounts and reupload the file.
