Check whether all cash flows for the transaction have been successfully
costed (you can use the maintenance transaction for cash flows).
It is possible that there is a cash flow in the database which has not

transaction in an update run or test run). If it has not been costed,
the error can be corrected by means of re-costing in an update run.
