Posting Edit Report

This report lists errors that are detected during the posting process. If the program finds errors, it does not post the batch. You must correct all errors before you can post the batch.

This table lists common posting errors and their causes:

Error

Description

Batch not approved for posting

This error message is caused by a batch with a pending or error status.

Account not set up in Account Master table (F0901)

This error message is caused by one of these errors:

  • An undefined account number (designated as # during journal entry) was entered.

    To correct this error, locate the document number and line number on the Journal Entry form (W0911A), and change the number (#) on the detail line to the valid account number.

  • No account number was set up before posting or the account number does not meet the model account criteria to be automatically created by the system.

    Add the general ledger account number in the Review and Revise Accounts program (P0901).

Batch journal entries out-of-balance

This error message occurs when debits do not equal credits. If the out-of-balance journal entry was entered in error, correct the error and post the batch again.

Other situations can cause a journal entry to be out-of-balance:

  • A power failure might have occurred during entry or posting.

  • A valid, one-sided journal entry might have been entered to correct a conversion error that was made during setup.
