parser error on Excel rate card agent read hidden sheet rates into cust

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in the Excel rate card parser by acting on the exact message first: restrict the parser to visible sheets only, list the sheets it will read before importing, and reject the import if a hidden sheet contains rate tables the owner has not approved for use. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

parser error on Excel rate card agent read hidden sheet rates into customer quote

Use this when

• The operation in the Excel rate card parser fails with this exact message: parser error on Excel rate card agent read hidden sheet rates into customer quote.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A proposal, quote or send is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a permission or outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in the Excel rate card parser, and copy the full message plus the proposal, quote or account involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: restrict the parser to visible sheets only, list the sheets it will read before importing, and reject the import if a hidden sheet contains rate tables the owner has not approved for use. Verify: the import reads only the named visible sheets and the quote rates match those sheets.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same template, integration, pricebook or account, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result against the source system in the Excel rate card parser so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts and key values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation in the Excel rate card parser on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

the parser iterated every sheet including hidden working sheets, so draft hidden rates were read into the customer quote.

Fix this in onsite interview loop agent by acting on the exact problem first: save the itinerary spreadsheet to a file and inspect its header row, delimiter and timezone column, flatten merged title rows and any second sheet holding return legs into one sheet with one header row, and confirm one candidate journey parses with the right arrival time before coordinating rooms or travel from it. Do not rerun the whole workflow unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one candidate first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

parser failed on onsite itinerary spreadsheet for coordinate an onsite interview loop with rooms and travel error parsing failure

Use this when

• The operation in onsite interview loop agent fails with this exact problem: parser failed on onsite itinerary spreadsheet for coordinate an onsite interview loop with rooms and travel error parsing failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• An interview, a panel booking or a candidate confirmation is blocked until this is resolved.

Not for this skill when

• The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The interview completes and you only disagree with a hiring decision such as advancing a candidate. That is a hiring call, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named candidate in onsite interview loop agent and record the full problem text plus the candidate, requisition or panel involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: save the itinerary spreadsheet to a file and inspect its header row, delimiter and timezone column, flatten merged title rows and any second sheet holding return legs into one sheet with one header row, and confirm one candidate journey parses with the right arrival time before coordinating rooms or travel from it. Verify: the single failing candidate now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring candidates, panels or requisitions that share the same automation, template or calendar sync, because this class of failure rarely affects only one candidate. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in onsite interview loop agent on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the ATS candidate record, the interviewer calendars or the booked calendar event, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the candidate record so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

onsite interview loop agent troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

Hand maintained itinerary sheets carry merged titles, extra sheets and mixed timezone notations, so a parser expecting one clean shape fails on the file structure rather than on the journey itself.

Edge cases

• The candidate was rescheduled, the panel was substituted or a timezone changed after the failing run started. Refresh the candidate state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single candidate proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other candidates. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared automation can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The ATS candidate record governs stage and panel assignment, the interviewer calendars govern availability, and the booked calendar event governs the interview time; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: onsite interview loop agent at current versions, plus the ATS, calendar or video platform the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

Fix this in Search check agent by acting on the exact symptom first: strip scripts and navigation from the article HTML before parsing, extract title and body text with a tolerant HTML parser, and fall back to the article text export for any page whose markup still defeats parsing. Do not repeat the same edit, search or run unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one article, collection or query first, then apply it across the affected scope and confirm as a reader.

Parser failed on help center article HTML while checking search results

Use this when

• Work in Search check agent shows this exact symptom: Parser failed on help center article HTML while checking search results.
• The same symptom repeats after a retry with unchanged inputs.
• Readers or support agents are blocked until this item is corrected.

Not for this skill when

• The help center platform itself is down or returning outage notices. Resolve that first, then return here if this symptom remains.
• The content is correct and you only want a style or tone rewrite. That is an editorial pass, not this fix.

Steps

1. Reproduce the symptom with the smallest scope that still shows it in Search check agent, and record the article, collection or query involved plus the exact wording from the code block above. Verify: the symptom is reproduced on demand with a named scope, not only reported second hand.
2. Apply the specific fix for this symptom: strip scripts and navigation from the article HTML before parsing, extract title and body text with a tolerant HTML parser, and fall back to the article text export for any page whose markup still defeats parsing. Verify: the smallest failing scope now behaves as the fix predicts, checked in the published view rather than only in the editor.
3. Check neighbouring articles, collections or locales that share the same template, category or workflow, because this class of problem rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Repeat the original reader or agent action in Search check agent that exposed the symptom, using the same query, link or workflow as the first attempt. Verify: the action completes and the original symptom does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth for this item, the current product behaviour, price list, release notes or ticket evidence named in the fix. Verify: the published result matches the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the scope it covered and the verification result where the content team works, so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the symptom, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Search check agent troubleshooting for this symptom

The symptom first phrasing used when the full message is hidden. Surface the full symptom first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

Help center pages carry theme markup, scripts and nested templates around the article body, and a strict parser fails on the chrome rather than on the article content being checked.

Edge cases

• The symptom appears in one locale, collection or audience view only. Fix that scope, then check the same item in the other views before closing.
• A cached or indexed copy keeps showing the old state after the fix. Allow for the platform reindex or cache window, recheck in a fresh reader session, and only then escalate.
• Two items have near identical titles. Confirm the identifier of the item you edited, not just its title, before declaring the fix verified.

Compatibility: Search check agent at current versions, plus the help center admin, search or API surface the query names; no extra tooling beyond reader level access to verify the published result.
