  • Project number missing on entries for accounts where project is required. The document’s posting needs to be updated with value in the project dimension.

  • Department missing on entries for accounts where department is required. The document’s posting needs to be updated with value in the department dimension.

  • Use of accounts, projects, departments, and other dimensions that are no longer valid.
