SUMMARY

This error indicates a record has been encountered with an Account 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 account record using the account 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 Account is invalid, delete the new Account. You will not be able to delete the account if there are journal entries for the account with amounts other that $0.00. If there are existing journal entries for the account, you must determine which account the journal entries should be posted to and edit the appropriate journal entries before deleting the account.
  5. If the Account 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 GLS data files from a backup.
  8. If there are no errors during the Data File Integrity Check, you may resume using the software.
