Upload / loading receipts report

With the use of API's, connectors and multiple people uploading to an organisations inventory, it is harder to track whether raw data is completely and accurately uploaded into the system. Whilst the loading receipt gets generated for each upload and we can view records in and records out in the files processed view, it would be better to have this and the below additional information in a report for multiple uploads so that a monthly consolidation can happen. The report should also contain information on:

- all of files attempted to be uploaded but failed i.e. files that didn’t get processed but were sent to the upload inbox including file name and sender.

- total amounts of differing data types (in each loading receipt as breakdown by account style)

- records that had line items but were not added as a “record in” (in each loading receipt as skipped rows)

- load/parse errors (it is time consuming to go into each files processed or load receipt to diagnose the load/parse errors)

    Hi Florinda,

    Thank you for raising this idea. We are working on changes to how we ingest data into the platform which will include improvements to monitoring and logging of file processing. We will consider these suggestions on information to include in a consolidated report. As you say, it is time consuming to go review the errors on a file-by-file basis, so consolidated reporting is a good idea. This ticket will be updated as we firm up on the solution and push this through development.
