DTW Chart of Accounts error

Question

Hello Exports
Thanks for all that you do for us.
I am have difficulty DTWing new, additional Chart of Account information into an existing database.  I have searched the forum and found several posts, but nothing seemed to address my particular issue.
As I understand, CoA information requires only 3 columns: AcctCode or FormatCode, Name and FatherAccountKey. So as a test, I've only included these columns.  All of my lines at this point fail with the following error
Enter Valid Code Application-defined or Object-defined error65171
I am wondering if part of the problem is the DTW template for CoA.  The template from SAP has the following column headings:
FormatCode.....Name.........FatherAccountKey
_FormatCode.....AcctName.....FatherNum_
I've been told by our consultant that the template is incorrect and that the column headings should be identical, i.e.:
FormatCode.....Name.........FatherAccountKey
_FormatCode.....Name.........FatherAccountKey_
I have tried to import the data both ways, and they both fail with the same error message.
Again, thanks for everyone's help.

Thanks to everyone who replied with help.  I actually spent 3 hours this morning on the phone with Zal Parchem, who helped me figure out the problem.  In lieu of points, he requested that I just buy him a beer.  Problem is, he'll probably make me buy it in Germany.  Now that's an expensive beer!
Solution:
1.  I needed to include the Code (AcctCode) field as the first column and fill it ordinally (line 1 = "1", line 2 = "2", etc).  DTW will automatically covert this to the proper "_SYS" number.
2.  Account segments needed to be set up in the chart of accounts.  This one confused me a bit.  I already had the CoA segmented.  What I didn't do was to set up the new segment code under Admin/Setup/Financials/Account Segmentation.  You need to click on the row header of the appropriate segment in order to enter this information.
3.  Apparently, the requirements for the import file has changed somewhat:  It use to be that both column headings were required to be the same.  With the new version of DTW, the templates are formatted with the DTW fields on the first line and the SAP fields on the second line.  In older version, you had to have both lines of column headers be the same.  Apparently, you can do it either way in this version.
4.  The template indicates that several fields require "tNo" or 'tYes" as the only valid values.  This causes an error of "Data too long for field".  Changing this to "N" or "Y" worked.
5.  The template indicates that the field AccountType (ActType) requires "at_Expenses", "at_Revenues" and "at_Other" as the only valid values.  This, too, causes an error.  Instead, use "E" for Expenses, "I" for Revenues (Sales) and "N" for Other.
