Common messages and questions in Sovos Intelligence, and what to do about them.

Query and reconciliation validation errors

Message What it means and how to fix it
Invalid query. The query is shorter than the six-character minimum. Enter a valid statement.
Only one #[MATCH] could be added. A cross-check query contains more than one match marker. Use #[MATCH] exactly once.
When specifying #[MATCH], two queries are needed... The match marker was used with other than two queries. A reconciliation query must contain exactly two SELECT statements.
Invalid match condition setup. The match conditions are empty or invalid. Provide at least one column = column condition and give every key a value.
For a RawQuery only one query is allowed. Multiple statements were entered without #[MATCH]. A non-reconciliation query allows only one statement.
Semantic model must use different alias. An output column reuses a source column name. Give each selected column an alias that differs from the raw source column name.

For the full rules, see Query and reconciliation reference.

Upload data says I have no template

Sovos must provision a data-upload template during implementation. If the upload pop-up shows that you have no template, reach out to your Sovos administrator. See Upload data.
