Troubleshooting
If your file upload fails
If there is an error in your file, Cbus Clearing House will produce an error report
showing what type of errors have occurred.
Common errors
Wrong date format: the date format in the Cbus Clearing House must be in the
same date format that is in your .CSV file.
No suburb matching that post code: either the wrong post code has been entered
for the suburb or the suburb is spelled incorrectly e.g. Saint Helena could be St Helena
or Mt Eliza could be Mount Eliza. Go back to your .CSV file, amend the records and
upload your file again.
For further information on errors, see the Contribution file specifications guide at
www.cbussuper.com.au, pages 21-28.
