Common Issues
- Data cannot be saved: complete required fields and read the validation message shown by the application.
- Data does not appear in selection or search: check active status, access rights, filters, and the search keyword.
- Duplicate code or name: use the existing record when it should be corrected, or use a different code for a new record.
- Tax journal posts to the wrong account: recheck the output-tax and input-tax accounts on the tax code used by the transaction.
- Report values do not match: recheck reference data, accounts, dates, transaction status, and related filters.
