Common mistakes and troubleshooting

  • The record will not save: Recheck Vendor Name, Address Line 1, City, State, Zip, and Primary Phone, plus the remaining screen fields and any message beside the field. A required related record may also be inactive or unavailable to your role.

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