Error messages in Payables Batch Edit List about Multicurrency using Microsoft Dynamics GP

This article describes error messages that occur when a computer check batch or Void check batch isn't post after Multicurrency Management has been installed and set up.

Applies to:   Microsoft Dynamics GP
Original KB number:   2741077

Symptoms

You receive the following error messages on the Payables Batch Edit List after a computer check batch or Void check batch isn't post after Multicurrency Management has been installed and set up:

The Currency ID is missing.

The Rate Type ID is missing.

The Exchange Table ID is missing.

Cause

These errors occur because Check Links isn't run on the Multicurrency setup table after enabling Multicurrency in GP. Since you're voiding a historical document that was originally entered before Multicurrency was enabled, Check Links needs to be run so that the fields mentioned in the errors are updated with the data from the Multicurrency setup. If you don't run Check Links, you'll receive the above errors because those fields are blank in the Multicurrency table (MC020103). These errors also occur when you try to void a historical payment that was created before Mutlicurrency was installed.

Resolution

To resolve this problem, follow these steps.
