• Message text: There was a complex problem involving the update of table &

What causes this issue?

For some reason, the system was not able to completely update data to
the table used for Bank Checks. The cause for this can be somewhat
complex, and can come from any one of the following problems.
1) The original check selected for reprint could not be blocked.
2) It was not possible to issue a new check number from the banck check
stack.
3) It was not possible to update new payee text.
4) A new check number was issued from the stack but could not be posted
to the Bank Check table.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

For each of the above causes respectively, try the following;
1) Look carefully at the check requested for reprint and confirm its
overall status. Try to see if there is a reason why this check would
be impossible to block. IE It has already been cashed.
2) Use standard functionality to examine the stack used for your bank
checks. Make sure you are not at the end of its range. If things look
ok, try to issue a check from the stack manually to make sure this area
is working poperly This will not hurt the Bank Check progrogram, but
you will be voiding a good check number which may require you to
destroy pre-numbered check stock. Othewise, the next Bank Check
produced will simply use the next number available.
3) The system automatically udates Payee Text, using the orignal text
or new text that you entered on the main screen. Try to see if you have
entered something on the screen that would cause the system problems.
4) The system updates the new Bank Check Number based on the origianl
Payement Order and Original Bank Number. Try to see for some reason if
either of these two numbers has been altered for any reason. For such a
problem to exist though, it would mean that some process changed the
Bank Check Table in between the initial request to view checks for
reprinting and the final command to reprint the check..
