Common mistakes and troubleshooting
-
The record will not save: Recheck Source Code, and Name 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 Active, 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 A saved record can still be inactive, unpublished, locked, unapproved, or in the wrong workflow state.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 Balancing Account from the detail page. Correct the specific relationship that is wrong instead of forcing a total or status to compensate for it.
