First-Line Errors

In some situations, the accumulated amount from the F48S912 table should equal the amounts from the F4812 and F4812H tables. In other situations, the accumulated amount from the F48S912 table should be zero. In either of these situations, when the amount from the F48S912 table is incorrect, the report prints an error message on the first line of the error report.

When the selected F4812 or F4812H record has a value of 4 (Costing Only) or 1 (Invoicing Only) in the Eligibility Code field (ELGC), or is a prior split or prior component transaction, and when the accumulated amount from the F48S912 table does not equal zero, the report displays one of these error messages:

  • Accumulated G/L Link Amount Should be 0 - Elg Code=1

  • Accumulated G/L Link Amount Should be 0 - Elg Code=4

  • Accumulated G/L Link Amount Should be 0 - Earlier Split

  • Accumulated G/L Link Amount Should be 0 - Earlier Component

    Note:

    A billing control ID group is a group of records from the F4812 and F4812H tables that belong to the same transaction. Each record in the group has the same values in these fields:

    • Date - For G/L (and Voucher) (WDDGL)

    • Billing Control ID (WDBCI)

    • Parent Sequence Number (WDPRSQ)

    • Sequence Number (WDSBSQ)

    • Component Code (WDCCOD)

    A prior split transaction is a billing control ID group that has been split into new transactions. The G/L Link revenue transactions that are associated with earlier split groups should net to zero.

    A prior component transaction is a billing control ID group that had a component code but had the component code removed through a transaction re-extension. The G/L link revenue transactions that are associated with earlier component groups should net to zero.

When the selected F4812 or F4812H record is not designated as Cost Only or Invoicing Only and is not a prior split or prior component transaction, the report lists one of these error messages when the value in the Amount - Revenue field (BTOL) from the selected F4812 or F4812H record does not equal the accumulated amount from the F48S912 table:

  • Incorrect Accumulated G/L Link Amount, No G/L Link Transactions Found.

  • Incorrect Accumulated G/L Link Amount, Wrong Number of G/L Link Transactions.

  • Incorrect Accumulated G/L Link Amount, Correct Number of G/L Link Transactions.
