Errors in Processing

If any errors occur during processing, they appear on the edit report. You can correct the errors and reprocess the batch. If one or more transactions in the batch are in error, the error does not stop the batch from processing. If a transaction in the batch is in error, that transaction is not processed with the rest of the batch. After the batch has been successfully processed, the system updates the value in the VNEDSP field from 0 to 1. These records remain in the F0911Z1 table until they are purged. Alternatively, you can set a processing option to purge this table automatically.

These tips might help you to reduce the number of error messages or identify and resolve them when they occur:

• Initially process a small number of records in a batch.

  Most errors that occur on one record also occur on all records. Correct the errors on the smaller number of records and then follow the same sequence of steps when you process a larger number of records in a batch.

• Remember that only errors prevent a batch from processing.

  Warning messages alert you to nonstandard entries but do not prevent processing. You control whether you receive warning messages with a processing option.

• Remember that you might not need to run the batch in proof mode because you have the option to review and delete transactions before you post them.

  Additionally, any error prevents the batch from processing.

• Review error messages to help you identify the cause and the resolution of errors.

• If errors exist that you cannot resolve, enter a transaction manually using the Journal Entry- Revision program (P0911Z1) and process it successfully.

  Then compare the F0911Z1 transaction that you converted to the F0911Z1 transaction that you entered through the Journal Entry Revisions program (P0911Z1). Comparing the differences assists you in locating discrepancies and resolving the errors.
