Upload file

There are several ways to create an upload file. The best one for your organisation will depend on the size and complexity of your MoP, and your internal business processes.

Uploaded files must match the template data requirements and be saved in CSV UTF-8 format.

MoP template
Download an empty MoP template from ‘Your report’, enter MoP data and save as a CSV UTF-8 file in your local drive.

Source system
Extract data from your source system, e.g. forecasting system, if you use one - and save as a CSV UTF-8 file in your local drive.

Prior year MoP
Export a previously submitted MoP from ‘Version history’ grid, save as a CSV file in your local drive and update data as required. Note: this is not an option for 2025 MoPs due to this being the first year of the new format.

  1. Click Upload file from ‘Your report’. Select saved CSV UTF-8 file from your local drive.
  2. Click Open. Your data will display in ‘Your report’.

Populating data into an upload file.

The MoP data requirements specify the upload file columns and format the data must be in. Please ensure you fill in the data using the specified format. Additional columns should not be added in the CSV template provided. The file must be in a CSV UTF-8 format.

For more information on data requirements see User Guide – Data Requirements: MoPs.

💡 Tip: If you use Excel to help prepare a CSV upload file, copy and paste the column headings from the CSV template into the top of your worksheet and check your columns match the prescribed columns (as far as the furthest right-hand column). Delete your original column headings row so that the column headings are as expected by the system and are not duplicated in the saved CSV file.
