Reproducing the Issue
1. Navigate to Import Supplier Invoices and Upload Customer Open Items App.
2. Upload an Excel template containing multiple line items for the same invoice/document ID.
3. After the file being imported, the error "Header data for entries of invoice are not identical" is raised.
Cause
The header information is not identical for one invoice ID. In the import file, header fields (blue highlighted column) must be the same for all line items that belong to the same invoice/document ID (column A).
