Has anyone come across the error when posting a (payment) journal for example called PAYMENTS 9? As this is 10 characters in length the incstr function causes the post to fail as it tries to create a batch name PAYMENTS 10. If you have already printed cheques then you are stuffed.
Not sure what you mean by ERROR. You should name your batch “PAYMENTS09”
Hi, I have been trying out Colin’s problem. You cannot rename the batch as it errors, saying that “Cheques must be printed”. Colin - I think your only option is to get someone (Possibly your NSC) to undo the cheque printed flag. They should be able to do this with a report to update the records.
I had to remove the incstr code, post the journal then rename my customers journals. I just thought that this was a bug that shouldn’t be there!
Hi Colin, Sounds like a trap for the unwary - It would probably be a good idea to get this reported to MBS.
Its pretty much documented, so it isn’t really a trap.
