Purchasing->Print Checks->Process gives error: Errors have been found in this check batch. Please correct the errors before printing.

Using GP 10 SP 5 on Windows 7 system.

Click Process, will get partway done before stopping and giving error message: Errors have been found in this check batch. Please correct the errors before printing. it seems like it stops at around the same place on each batch, as if there's a record that is throwing it off.

There are no vendors on hold.
There are no errors listed in the Edit List.
The fiscal periods are all open.

Another post mentioned: "This is a catch all message that occurs after the batch was put through the validation routine. The edit list uses the same validation routine."
What are the steps of the validation routine? I can't find documentation on it anywhere, otherwise I could step through.

The batches listed in Print Payables Checks are also the only batches listed in PM10300, and they are the only XPM_Cchecks batches listed in SY00500.

There weren't default posting accounts set up at the time of error, but now there are, and the error persists.

I am told that some of the batches process without error, but I can't find a table that would have the batches posted/printed successfully.

Can someone please help direct me on what I should be looking for, in able to resolve this generic error and allow the batches to process.

Solution:

There were a few vendors that did not have EFT bank information filled in on their Vendor Cards.

SELECT distinct VENDORID /* Transactions within a batch */
-- that don't have eft addresses set up (aren't on SY06000)
FROM [GBP].[dbo].[PM10300] where vendorid not in ( select VENDORID from [GBP].[dbo].[SY06000])

I did a SQL Trace on a batch and it generated an error either during or directly after processing a vendor that was set to post results to Payables/Discount Account

All of the 2014 batches that did not work contain vendors that are set to post results to Payables/Discount Account.

How do I verify if this is posting correctly? If the payables/discount account isn't set up correctly, that could be what's causing the posting to die with a generic error.

Is there a problem that a batch contains vendors that are posting results to payables/discount and also purchasing offset?

Where is the error log located for this operation? If I could look at the log and see which transaction is generating the error, and what it is, that would help.

Is there a script to see what batch transactions are posted to sub-ledger and/or general ledger?

I replied earlier but it looks like it didn't stick.

We are able to process batches with less than 9 transactions without error. I was going through each of the unposted 2014 batches and all of the batches with 9 or more threw up that error message after I hit Print Checks->Process (top left menu option). Most of the batches contain between 30-45 transactions.

Of course, now that I said that, there's a transaction that has 43 records in it that seems be processing correctly. After Print Checks->Process, I clicked Post and Process (buttons on bottom right of dialog window, instead of the top left menu option). The analyst said that sometimes they fail at the end, but if that happens, that's a different error than the first validation Process.

Does anyone know the validation steps it checks so I can step through and try to find out what is creating the error?

Yes, all fiscal periods for the dates included in the batch are open.

I'll pass the suggestion on to the analyst to see if we have small checks that don't belong to a batch yet. There are numerous batches already created that we aren't able to process because of the generic error stated above.

I had an issue where the Checks report I was trying to print was corrupted and through errors. Are you recently migrated over to GP2013? It could be a bad field from a migrated report.

I also have this issue sometimes due to the fact that if I don't manually select GP 2013 to "Run in Administrator Mode" (it is checked to run in Admin) I get a Cannot Print Error when printing my check run and the batch does not always want to process. Might want to rule this Admin mode out.

Hi,

Did you check the posting date of the batch or not. Try to build small batch with little checks and see you still get this error.

All of these batches are Computer Checks. Is there a way to print out/post individual checks inside of a batch? If it's an issue of a transaction throwing an error, we can get the valid transactions printed/posted.

Is there an issue with timeing out on large batches (200-300 pages in edit list) or a limit to numbers of checks within a batch?
