Last reviewed: 08/18/2011
Article ID: R10862

The information in this article applies to:

• Tabs3 Accounts Payable Software (APS) Version 16, 15, 14 & 12

SUMMARY

This error indicates a record has been encountered with a vendor that does not exist.

RESOLUTION

It may be possible to correct the error; however, depending on the severity of the error, there is the possibility that the error cannot be corrected thereby requiring that data be restored from a backup.

1. Make a temporary backup. Do not overwrite a current backup.
2. Add a new vendor record using the vendor shown on the Data File Integrity Check Error Report.
3. Run the Data File Integrity Check program (DFIC) to confirm that the error has been corrected.
4. If the DFIC still indicates an error 54, STOP. You must restore the APS data files from a backup. If the DFIC completes with no errors, proceed to the next step.
5. If the new vendor is invalid, delete the new vendor and then rerun the DFIC. Deleting the vendor record automatically removes any associated records for the vendor, but the DFIC must be run again to confirm that the records have been deleted. If the error 54 persists, you must restore from a backup.
6. If the new vendor is valid, all associated records will now be accessible.
