- ERROR MESSAGES
- A) ERROR 11 IN LINE 2172
- When transferring the Line Item History File. This error
- occurs if you have defined the transfer of the Cost_Amt field
- when the Cost Entry Advanced has not been invoked.
-
- A conversion of the Line Item History file will occur during
- the first posting of invoice after the Cost Entry feature has
- been invoked. This conversion increases the record length of
- the data file which allows for the cost field. If you have
- not invoked the Cost Entry feature, the record length has not
- been increased. Thus, you can not tell the Spreadsheet
- Interface module to transfer information which does not exist.
- Please re-define your transfer parameters to exclude the
- Cost_Amt field.
- ENHANCED SPREADSHEET
- A) BUDGET RETURN
- Some users have reported experiencing some difficulty when
- returning the budgets to the General Ledger module. Some
- guidelines to check are as follows:
- 1. In the column heading, the period number must be
- right-justified and zero filled.
- Example: right --> BGT1/88/03
- wrong --> BGT1/88/3
- 2. The column heading must appear within the first six rows of
- the worksheet.
- 3. Only the first 13 columns are accessed and transferred.
- For example, if your worksheet has 20 columns and 13 of
- them have the correct heading for budget return, only those
- budgets which appear in the first thirteen columns will be
- transferred. Those budgets which appear in columns 14 thru
- 20 will NOT transfer.
-
- 4. The system will return budgets for POSTING accounts only.
- If a budget is defined for a totalling account, the budget
- must be redefined to budget each account which makes up the
- totalling account.
- 5. The account number which appears in the first column must
- be in the 4 dash 4 format. (i.e. xxxx-yyyy)
