Error Solver

How to fix: Invalid content was found starting with element 'ContractorName'.

What happened?

ContractorName is the very first required element in every WH-347 XML report. If it's missing, misspelled, or placed after employee data, the portal rejects the file before reading any other field — even if the rest of your data is perfect.

The Zero-Tolerance Solution

XMLExpress's Project Registry stores your contractor details once and injects them in the correct XML sequence automatically. Required fields are locked in the mapping UI — you can't accidentally skip them.

Stop Fighting Government Portals

Contractors spend an average of 4-6 hours per week manually fixing certified payroll errors. With XMLExpress, you can eliminate this bottleneck entirely.

  • Automatic mapping for any CSV format
  • Instant validation against the latest WH-347 XSD
  • Support for LCPtracker, AASHTOWare, and more
  • Encrypted audit trail for zero-tolerance compliance
