Flat File Inventory Loader b2b not longer working, doesn't update fields, gives error in Dashboard before upload
There was a recent change in Amazon that is not allowing the Flat.File.InventoryLoader_b2b template to update the following fields:
minimum-seller-allowed-price
maximum-seller-allowed-price
business-price
quantity-lower-bound1 (all)
quantity-price1 (all)
The file is listed in Amazon's templates and can be downloaded through this link which shows the new file updated February 28, 2020:
Flat.File.InventoryLoader_b2b.xls
When the file is uploaded through the dashboard it gives the following warning about errors:

Based on the first 500 rows, the following 3 errors were detected in your spreadsheet
Hover over each field name to see the error details. You may continue to upload the spreadsheet with errors or validate the following fields before resubmission.
Fields with invalid values or formatting: priceMust only contain numbers. Please do not include currency symbols and commas in price fields., minimum-seller-allowed-priceMust only contain numbers. Please do not include currency symbols and commas in price fields., maximum-seller-allowed-price
The file only contains numeric values for these fields, I tried opening a case with Amazon and they confirmed the error but instead of reporting it they just told me to use different templates which I will need to use 2 instead of one. If Amazon provides a template I am not sure why they will not fix the errors instead of instructing users to use multiple different templates.
The upload even though it gives warning errors, it successfully updates the fields and it shows no errors on the batch ID
price
quantity
handling-time
merchant_shipping_group_name

We tried updating the fields also using SP-API and it will not update those fields listed above, opening a case to report this bug it's useless, Amazon doesn't care, anyone has found a work around?
