SUMMARY
This error indicates a record has been encountered with an Account 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.
- Make a temporary backup. Do not overwrite a current backup.
- Add a new account record using the account shown on the Data File Integrity Check Error
Report.
- Run the Data File Integrity Check program (DFIC) to confirm that the error has been corrected.
- If the DFIC still indicates an error 54, STOP. You must restore the GLS data
files from a backup. If the DFIC completes with no errors, proceed to the next step.
- If the new account is invalid, delete the account and then rerun the DFIC.
Note: You will not be able to delete the account if there are journal entries for the account with
amounts other than $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 entries to post them to the correct
accounts before deleting the invalid account.
Note: Because the record that caused the original error 54 might not have been not properly
linked to the account, the DFIC must be run after deleting the account to ensure that the error has been
corrected. If the error 54 persists, you must restore from a backup.
- If the new account is valid, all associated records will now be accessible.
