Sage Line 500: Close Adjustment Period – incorrect balances error

Comments Off on Sage Line 500: Close Adjustment Period – incorrect balances error

While going through the General ledger Year End procedure – I came across the following error while running ‘Close Adjustment Period’:

“Number of Accounts with incorrect balances : 7056 see System log”

The system log shows the following (sample):

%% invalid_nldirect %% posting <your posting_code or account_code here>

%% invalid_nlsumm %% posting <your posting_code or account_code here>

%% invalid_nlstatus %% posting <your posting_code or account_code here>

 

Turns out that the fields direct_posting, summary_posting and status in tables nl_account (nlaccm) and nl_post_code (nlmastm) only likes Y/N in caps, not lower case – or blanks.
