Item ID:

  2. The correct item ID was 'ABCD ' (NOTE: there is an extra space after D).The file has to be corrected to have the item IDs as 'ABCD ' instead of 'ABCD'.

Revision Date and Time:

  1. If you're using Revision Date and Time for Import Data as it's optional, then ensure the timezone and time details are exactly the same 
  2. Ensure the time details are exactly the same by ensuring in Preferences > Time Pattern ID > hh:mm:ss aaa (hh:mm:ss AM/PM) 
  3. Go to your item and note down the Revision Date and Time > Open your Import File and ensure it matches

Additionally, please note this is case sensitive. The data provided on the feed file should match LMS' data.
