Supported File Formats

CSV

Requirements:

• Row 1 must be column headers
• Delimiter: comma (not semicolon)
• Encoding: UTF-8 (save as "CSV UTF-8" in Excel, not "CSV Windows")
• Maximum file size: 5 MB

If your column names don't match DPP Cloud field names, use the field mapper to translate them automatically.

XLSX (Excel)

Requirements:

• Sheet 1 is used — additional sheets are ignored
• Row 1 must be column headers
• Data starts from row 2
• Maximum file size: 5 MB
• Supported: .xlsx only (not .xls)

JSON

Must be a valid JSON array of objects, or a single object. Nested objects are automatically flattened using dot notation:

{ "battery": { "weight": 450 } }  →  field name: battery.weight
{ "carbon": { "total": 5200 } }   →  field name: carbon.total

XML

Valid XML with repeating child elements representing individual passports. DPP Cloud uses fast-xml-parser to extract element names. Nested elements are flattened with dot notation.

GS1 EPCIS XML

GS1 EPCIS 2.0 format is supported for inbound import. DPP Cloud extracts ObjectEvent elements and reads the ilmd section. Auto-mapped fields include: EPC identifiers → Passport Number, eventTime → Manufacturing Date.
