When entering transaction information on the Transaction Entry screen, the Status column will notify you of any errors for the data you entered. The following is a list of common errors and how to correct them. Yellow errors are information only; they will not prohibit posting. Red errors will prohibit posting unless resolved.
Transaction not posting to current period
A warning message is displayed on transactions not posting to the current period. To change the period requires GOLDVision access to function 2 (Company Options screen) in the General Ledger system. Under Current Account Period, set the current period in the Period Number field. For more information on this option, see section 3.2, Company Options, in the General Ledger manual on DocsOnWeb. |
If no amount is entered in the Amount field, you will receive this warning. You can update the Amount field with an amount, or you can leave it as $0 and post the transaction. If an Amount field is not displayed for this configuration, you need to add it. For more information about adding fields to configurations, see Customizing the Transaction Entry Screen. |
This error displays if you have entered the wrong cost center (sub-field 3 of the account number structure). The system could not find the account number with the cost center you entered. |
Debit/Credit Account not on file
The account number you entered is not found in the Chart of Accounts. The problem may be that you entered only part of the account structure wrong. Make sure each part of the account number structure is entered correctly. If you think the account is entered correctly, try updating the Chart of Accounts, or access the General Ledger system directly and see if the account is indeed in the General Ledger system. |
