2. What to do when I receive an email detailing invalid records in the file upload?

After performing a file upload, you will receive an email that reports the results. The email will specify the number of records found, the number loaded, any duplicate records found and the number of invalid records that could not be loaded. Only the invalid records that could not be loaded must be corrected and resubmitted. You will receive a list of these records as a file attachment for review and resubmittal.
