The issue is each line is taken as a Journal Entry Instead of a Journal Item. Kind share the format for importing Journal Item within the Journal Entry

Found a Solution at  https://github.com/odoo/odoo/issues/33469

I am using Odoo 15 . so commented the following line in 

/opt/bitnami/apps/odoo/lib/odoo-{your-version}.egg/odoo/addons/account/models/ account_move.py


#raise UserError(("Cannot create unbalanced journal entry."))

After this the Import is working however the Debit and Credit balancing has to be ensured by you as the system will not check for the balancing of debit and credit

I could upload without commenting the code. The issue was with the file format. The subsequent lines of the Journal entry should not have date,Journal,ref,account_code. These should be left blank to be considered as the same journal entry.

The problem might be after the decimal point 
for example
credit: 1900.0002
debit: 1900.0

this wont match based on you currency decimal points

so instead of commenting the code you should make the credit equals debit.

The debit and credit is matching. There are no decimals. I tried a test upload with only two entries. that too failed. Kindly let me know the format for uploading the journal entries.
