Enable data check

Completed

With the Enable Data Check feature selected on the General FastTab of the general ledger setup, Business Central can alert you about issues with data in documents and journals that can prevent you from posting.

These alerts are shown in the Document Check or Journal Check FactBoxes on documents and journals.

If you turn on the Enable Data Check toggle on the General Ledger Setup page, a notification will display on documents where the check document capability is available.

If you select Enable this for me in the notification, the Document Check FactBox will appear after you reopen the document page, and Business Central will start checking the document for issues while entering information. The Issues Total tile in the FactBox shows the total number of issues that Business Central found. You can choose the tile to open an overview of the issues.

If you want to stop using Document Check, you can turn off the Show the Document Check FactBox toggle on the My notifications page by following these steps:

  1. Select the Search for Page icon, enter my notification, and select the related link.

  2. Find the Show Document Check FactBox notification.

  3. Clear the Enabled field.

On the My Notification page, you can only choose if you want to show the Document Check FactBox or not. Once the Enable Data Check field on the general ledger setup is selected, the Journal Check FactBox on journals is always displayed. There is no notification to turn it off. If you don’t want to display the Journal Check FactBox anymore, you can hide it by personalizing the page.
