Inspection reports and records uploaded to Tracenet can fail because of the file, the data, or the connection. This episode covers the usual causes in each group and how to fix them, without relying on fixed limits that the portal may change.
The short version
- Check the file type and size against the limit shown on the upload screen.
- Fill every mandatory field and match the operator's profile.
- Upload at quieter times and keep a log of error messages.
- Upload promptly after the inspection.
File Problems
Wrong format, a file above the stated limit, special characters in the name, or a locked PDF.
- Use the format the upload field asks for.
- Compress files to below the limit shown on the upload screen, keeping them readable.
- Use simple file names: letters, numbers and underscores.
- Remove passwords or locks from PDFs before uploading.
Missing or Inconsistent Data
Areas, coordinates, signatures, dates, conversion status and buffer zones must be complete and consistent.
- Total area matches the land records in the operator's profile.
- Coordinates in decimal degrees, for every farm unit.
- Signatures and dates legible on the final page.
- Conversion status matches the plot's history.
- Buffer zones and drift risks recorded where plots adjoin conventional land.
Connection and Submission Failures
Clear the cache, upload at quieter times, check the operator's status, and log error references.
- Clear the browser cache before large uploads.
- Upload at quieter times, such as early morning.
- Check the operator account has no pending blocks.
- Record error reference numbers for support.
Upload inspection records promptly after the field visit; delays hold up scope and transaction certificates.
Illustrative workload. At about three minutes per report, 500 farmers take about 25 hours per audit cycle.
