How To Fix FZ049 - If items have cleared to zero, changes only possible by blocking all itms

FZ049 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FZ - Payment Transactions

• Message number: 049

• Message text: If items have cleared to zero, changes only possible by blocking all itms

What causes this issue?

You cannot make changes to the items in an account that has balanced to
zero. All you can do is block all the items simultaneously.
If you change any of the items, this would result in the balance no
longer being zero and the account would not clear.
It is not advisable to change the payment method or bank details, since
you do not have to specify a payment method when the account balances
to zero.

System Response

Not all the fields will accept entries; you cannot therefore make any
changes.

How to fix this error?

To prevent the account from balancing to zero, use the function 'Block
all' from the line item overview screen.
Afterwards, you can release certain individual items from the block and
allocate payment methods and bank details to them.
