Common mistakes and troubleshooting

  • The record will not save: Recheck Amount and any message beside the field. A required related record may also be inactive or unavailable to your role.

  • The record saved but is not available where expected: Recheck Edit Locked, then clear the filters on the destination list. A saved record can still be inactive, unpublished, locked, unapproved, or in the wrong workflow state.

  • The values look right but the result is wrong: Open Bank Account, and Vendor from the detail page. Correct the specific relationship that is wrong instead of forcing a total or status to compensate for it.
