Solution

  1. Go to the B&D screen in the Income folder.
  2. Open the
    Schedule for detail
     statement and check the following fields for each row:
    • Adj to G/L
      : If there's an amount in this column, you need to enter a code in the Adj Code column.
    • Adj Code
      : If there's a code in this column, you need to enter an amount in the Adj to G/L column
    • Adj Code 2
      : You can leave this field blank if the item doesn't have multiple codes. If there's a code in this column, make sure it isn't duplicating a code in the Adj Code column. For example, if you enter code
      EW
       in the Adj Code column, don't enter code
      W
       in the Adj Code 2 column. Leave the Adj Code 2 column blank.
  3. Recreate and retransmit the return.
