Importing Supplier Transactions - Error

I am having trouble importing supplier transactions into Sage 200.  I have just used the same import template to import another set of transactions, so I know that the file format etc. are valid, but when I try to import this particular file I get the error message:

'Unable to process the specified file.'

 

Any ideas what would be causing this?

 

Thanks!

    Hi,

    From checking previous instances of this error I have a few suggestions Sam:

    Ensure no Excel processes are running by checking in Task Manager and try to import the file again
    Transpose the information from your document into a new blank copy of the Import template which you can get online here:
    desktophelp.sage.co.uk/.../ImportSupTrans.htm

    Lastly, we have seen this error when there are formatting problems with the information. Examples of which are number 0's in columns where if no applicable information is needed then the column should be left blank. I would check against the Example file available from the previously linked help page to compare against your set of information.

    Could be a couple of things, check the file extension is CSV - and that there's no hidden extension eg import.csv.txt or something like that. Try opening in Excel and save as ANanotherName.CSV and try that. If all else fails, get a copy of the standard Suppliertransaction.csv and copy the contents of the file (excluding the headers) into this and try again.

    Or... one that just came to me - the file you are trying to open - ensure its not open in Excel or Notepad etc.
