AP ERP5.3b / Post Reconiliation Saga 2

[j0rg3]

Okay, the system I have been working on is copied from production. There are a few points of interest.

Production copy crashes when you try to Post Rec. with a negative error number. Just a point of curiosity. I have no working systems to look at. *sigh*

Okay, on the test copy and I went madly clicking [Post] (wanting to see a Post Rec.) and I seem to have told it to use the wrong account. So in the Post Rec. form, it says From 'WIREADJ' when I should have chosen a different account (I have no idea if 'account' is the correct terminology). How can I back out and choose the correct account? Those fields are currently greyed out.

The error, if it matters, is "Description: Invalid Input. Starting value is greater than ending value".

TIA!

I guess you mean the bank code on the post rec screen, the error means the From bank code is greater than the To bank code. Choose a different bank on the From field.

Yeah! It is the bank code. Now, I see the title of that grouping reads "Post Reconciliation for the Following Banks:" .

Then there are two radio buttons, both greyed, that say All Banks and Range. Range is already chosen and the From and To text boxes are filled in (also grey).

My choices are Close and Post. Pressing Close, quite predictably, closes the form. Pressing Post gives me a "Starting value is greater than ending value" and dumps me back from whence I came.

Go to Administrative Services, Restart Maintenance and click on the Next button (blue arrow pointing to the right) and Delete the restart record for the bank rec posting, this should allow you to change the bank code.

Run RVSPY before you post to figure out the fields with the wrong starting values.

Back to Accounting I go...

However, we've made progress. I cleared the error and RVSPY has given me some comfort in that I can peek behind the scenes.

I don't know what I'm looking at yet but at least I'm looking!

Chances are high that I'll be back with more questions but if I didn't have your help, I wouldn't have gotten this far in the next hundred years. Thanks, as always!

Note that deleting the restart record is not always the best choice, in fact, it can screw things royally if the given process was at a particular midpoint. But, Ettienne knows what he's doing, that's why his suggestion was good.
