If your batch file passes the File Format Inspection, the ACA Track system will immediately begin the Data Validation Inspection process.


The Data Validation Inspection reviews your data to ensure it meets all of our data requirements, including proper formatting (for dates, SSN, etc.), all of your internal codes (for Job Status, Division, Plan ID, etc.) are properly mapped to a recognized Standard Code, and all required fields are completed.


If the Data Validation Inspection discovers errors, a quick summary of those will be listed on the results screen. For a complete list of results, return to the Data Upload History screen.

The Data Validation Inspection is 100% pass or fail. If it finds any errors in your file, the whole file will be rejected and nothing will be loaded.  The original file must be fixed and resubmitted.


To correct a Data Validation Failure:


1. Return to the Data Upload History Screen by clicking the Back button.

2. Review your Data Validation Error Report, by clicking the red folder icon:



3. Update any data fields in error

4. Re-upload the batch file: Click on the blob1476715812856.png icon to re-upload the corrected data file
