The file cannot be associated with any template.Therefore cannot use pxParseExcel activity., Cannot use file listener as the users will have to attach the file to WO.

Hi Nandini,
You can go through my suggestion provided in the below discussion to write your custom code to read the excel file content as you are not sure about its format used by the end user,

If you are aware of the format used by the end user then probably you can use the MSOParseExcelFile to read the content of the work object attachment as explained below,
Hope it might help you.

Hi ,
You can refer/configure pxUploadCSVResults flow action to upload the file and parse the file. Which will copy the data to specified pagelist in post action parameters.
Thanks,
Deva.
