Error messages explained

Some error messages indicate an issue you can fix yourself before re-running the import.Errors you can resolve yourself:'Invalid product' — the product code in your file does not exist in DeltaWMS. Create the product record first, then re-import.Errors caused by file format or data problems:If the error references encoding, special characters, or field separators, check that your file encoding matches what your integration expects. A common cause of import failure is a mismatch between file encoding formats — for example, a file saved as UTF-8 when the integration expects a different format, or vice versa. Remove any emojis, special characters, or hidden symbols from text fields and re-import.If you are unsure of the required encoding format for your integration, raise a support case — the correct format varies by customer setup.
