SUMMARY
An error 81 indicates a missing or invalid task based billing code was encountered.
This error may be found in the task code file, the client task code budget file, the fee
file or the cost file.
MORE INFORMATION
If the error is in the fee file or the cost file, it typically indicates a missing task
based billing code for a task based billing client and may occur as a result of:
- Merging data capture transactions. Task based billing codes cannot be imported from some
device interface programs for task based billing clients. Warnings regarding transactions
imported for task based billing clients are generated immediately after the merge.
- Merging Tabs3 Remote data transactions. Although Tabs3 Remote supports task based
billing, it is possible to enter non-task based billing transactions for a client if
validation files are not used or the client is not present in the validation files.
Warnings regarding invalid transactions imported for task based billing clients are
generated immediately after the merge.
- Changing a client in Tabs3 to a task based billing client after fee and cost
transactions have already been entered for the client.
RESOLUTION
- To correct the error, simply open the data entry program and edit the appropriate task
code field (i.e., Phase/Task, Activity, Task Code ID) or change the client's Task Based
Billing Client check box. The Client ID and reference number will be shown on the error
report.
- The Change WIP Transactions program can also be used to convert transaction codes to
task based billing codes for existing work-in-process transactions.
