Why is my import in the status of "waiting"?

Overview

I imported an import template and now the import screen in Avalara is stuck on "waiting".

Environment

Avalara AvaTax

Resolution

• Refresh the screen. 
  • Once you have refreshed the screen, it will show the current Status.
• Waiting indicates the file is in the queue to be processed, but has not started yet
  • This is not an error message
  • It will be processed and then show if there was any error
  • You do not need to stay logged in for the batch to process
  • If you imported a file with Filters, please save again without filters applied, then import the newly saved file
    • Filters in your Excel file slow our batch process
