Code Error What it means How to solve
W50 Missing type (For example, B, I or S) Account number XX is missing a Type designation in the Working Trial Balance. Check the account properties in the Working Trial Balance.
E50 Missing sign (For example, D or C) Account number XX is missing a Sign designation. In the Working Trial Balance, enter either a D or C as the normal sign for the account.
E51 Incorrectly considered as posting Account number XX has been considered as a prime posting account rather than a consolidated account. This normally occurs when using a divisional client file. Ensure that this account has a C in the Division column in the Report setup.

W53 Division should be blank; profile specifies none This error occurs if the client file contains divisional account numbers (For example, one-100) and the client file is not considered a divisional file with additional companies.

Do one of the following:

  1. If you intend to use additional companies or divisions and this account should actually be a divisional account, you must change the structure of the file to be divisional by entering additional divisions or companies in the Working Trial Balance settings.

  2. If you do not intend to use additional companies or divisions, remove the divisional portion of the number from the Div column in the Report setup. This enables you to use a divisional account number that does not roll up to a consolidated account number.

Enter a C in the Div column to indicate that this is a combined non-posting account.
C54 Prime account should be combined account This error occurs if the client file contains additional companies or divisions. It indicates that this account is incorrectly considered a posting account. A prime account of a divisional or sub-account automatically combines the balance of the divisional or sub-account. Therefore, prime accounts should always be non-posting accounts. Change the prime account to a combined or non-posting account. On the Account menu, choose Working Trial Balance and then click the Report tab. Locate the account and enter a C in the Div column of the Report setup. Combined accounts do not appear in the Trial Balance.
