Sievo API error spend data upload fails with schema validation error

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in Sievo by acting on the exact problem first: download the current Sievo upload template, align the file headers to the schema version it defines, and re upload, because a renamed or missing required header fails validation for the whole file before any row is read, then confirm the validation report shows the file accepted. Do not rerun the same operation unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one upload file or data source first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

Sievo API error spend data upload fails with schema validation error

Use this when

• The operation in Sievo fails with this exact problem: Sievo API error spend data upload fails with schema validation error.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• Work described as a spend data load or a refresh that depends on the upload 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 operation completes and you only disagree with an analytic or policy judgement in the result. That is an owner decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one upload file or data source in Sievo and record the full problem text plus the record, group or period 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: download the current Sievo upload template, align the file headers to the schema version it defines, and re upload, because a renamed or missing required header fails validation for the whole file before any row is read, then confirm the validation report shows the file accepted. Verify: the single failing scope now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring items, meaning uploads using the same template, because this class of failure rarely affects only one scope. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in Sievo 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 Sievo schema definition, the upload error report and the source spend file, 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 run log so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

The how to phrasing for the same failure in Sievo. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

Sievo 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

Schema validation checks structure before content, so one header drift between the export that produced the file and the schema Sievo now expects rejects every row at once.

Edge cases

• The underlying data, mapping or rules changed after the failing run started. Refresh the current state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single scope proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other scopes. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared rule, filter or schedule can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The source of truth for this check is the Sievo schema definition, the upload error report and the source spend file; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: Sievo at current versions, plus the ERP, card feed or procurement system the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.
