Acknowledgment Files
The acknowledgment file documents the status of the submitted file after processing and communicates any processing errors encountered back to the submitter. The acknowledgment file will maintain count of accepted and rejected employers. Any errors associated with an employer will appear in an XML block for that employer. If no error is encountered for a given employer, no employer xml block will exist in the acknowledgment file.

Keep acknowledgment files as proof of your file submission. Files will only be available on the SFTP server for 60 days before they are automatically removed.
Refer to the File Specification Toolkit for additional information on acknowledgment file format, error codes and warning codes.

You will need to correct the errors and resubmit the file.
