SUMMARY

This error indicates a record has been encountered with a Vendor that doesn't exist.

RESOLUTION

It is 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 and correct any errors that occur. Proceed only when the Data File Integrity Check reports no errors.
  4. If the Vendor is invalid, delete the new Vendor. Deleting the vendor record automatically removes any associated records for the vendor.
  5. If the Vendor is valid, all associated records will now be accessible.
  6. Rerun the Data File Integrity Check program.
  7. If the Data File Integrity Check still indicates errors, you must restore the APS data files from a backup.
  8. If there are no errors during the Data File Integrity Check, you may resume using the software.
