Accpac 4.2 AP Invoice Post in Progress error

[RWCinci]

A batch of several items was created in the AP Invoice Batch List module. On posting, one of the items appeared to "stick." We attempted to fix with Restart Maintenance as suggested by the dialogue box which appeared. All the items except 1 posted and the rogue item ended up in an "Error Batch." The status of this batch is "Post in Progress" and the batch is completely unaccessible, e.g. it cannot be opened or deleted. The only option available is "post" which if pressed tells you that there are no batches ready to post. Double clicking on the Status field, or Ready to Post field of the batch entry does not change it.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Have you printed the error posting journal?

Also run data integrity check on AP with the fix minor erros checked, sometimes that will reset the post in progress batch status.

Hi,

I appreciate your response! The error posting journal report indicates a date error, i.e. a date was outside the financial calendar. Unfortunately, we can't get in to correct it. I ran the data integrity check for a second time with the same result - no change in the batch status and no indication of what the problem might be.

Thanks,
Dick Walter

Simplest thing to do is edit APIBC with your favorite database editor, and set BTCHSTTS to 1 (Open). Then edit the entry and fix the date.
