This error usually happens when the XML file version doesn’t match the ACES portal’s expected version or if there’s a mismatch in the selected return period during upload.
Here are some steps you can try:
1. **Verify Return Period**: Double-check the return period selected while generating the XML exactly matches the return period chosen on ACES while uploading.
2. **Update Utility**: Ensure you have the absolute latest version of the ST-3 utility. Sometimes, older versions generate XML incompatible with the portal.
3. **Clear Cache or Try Different Browser**: Sometimes browser cache or compatibility causes upload errors.
4. **Validate XML Offline**: The utility usually has a ‘Validate’ option before generating XML — make sure no validation errors appear.
5. **Try Uploading After Some Time**: Sometimes, ACES portal glitches cause upload errors temporarily.
If you want, I can guide you step-by-step or help troubleshoot the XML file if you share the errors or details. Would you like that?
