If the file you are trying to upload doesn’t conform to the specifications of IRIS provided input format then, in such cases, the invoices will be rejected and status shown would be ‘FAILURE’. You can click on the structural errors in the result column to review the errors. The maximum limit of structural errors is 100, after that the file is not taken up for further processing. In case of errors, clear all errors from file and then again try to upload file.
