Common mistakes and troubleshooting

• The record will not save: Recheck Name, Cost, Sales Price, Expense Account, Cogs Account, and Revenue Account, 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 Purchase Uom, Sales Uom, Expense Account, Cogs Account, Revenue Account, and Default Tax from the detail page. Correct the specific relationship that is wrong instead of forcing a total or status to compensate for it.
