Hi, Yes, you are correct. You can use temporary IDs <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/batch-jobs#using_temporary_ids> for the dependent objects in your batch jobs. For the FILE_FORMAT_ERROR <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201708/BatchJobService.BatchJobProcessingError.Reason#FILE_FORMAT_ERROR>, this error occurs when the input file passed in the BatchJob upload has a format error. Could you check if your request body conforms to the BatchJobOpsService.wsdl <https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201705/BatchJobOpsService?wsdl> and your request meets the upload requirements listed on this guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/batch-jobs#upload_requirements> ?
If you can confirm that your request body is correct and you meet the upload requirements, and still the error persists, then so we can further check this, can you provide your clientCustomerID as well as the failed batch job IDs?
