Common mistakes and troubleshooting
-
The record will not save: Recheck Label, and Customer 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 Customer, and Payment Method from the detail page. Correct the specific relationship that is wrong instead of forcing a total or status to compensate for it.
