Cause

When saving Golden Tax inbound file, system checks the number of columns in the Excel. For Aisino Shanghai Excel file, the number of columns is 31 and for Beijing file, it is 21.

To check which Golden Tax file type you are using:

  1. Go to Customer Invoicing work center.
  2. Select Golden Tax Master Data from Common Tasks view.
  3. In the table of File Master data, you maintained for example Golden Tax file Type as Aisino Excel File, and Excel Upload Template as Beijing.

In this case, you are using Aisino Beijing file type. When you uploading a file, system checks and detects additional columns in the Excel. These additional columns might be added without putting a column name. You need to remove these columns from the Excel.

Resolution

For Aisino Beijing Excel file type, system requires 21 columns from A to U.

For Aisino Shanghai Excel file type, system requires 31 columns are from A to AE.

You may delete 10 (or more) columns after column U (for Beijing type) or AE (for Shanghai type), and try to upload again.
