Introduction to Inter-Entity Errors

After configuring Inter-Entity (Transactions or Trade) the associated processes are automated, but errors can occur for a number of reasons.

Some errors can prevent batches from posting, while others only occur after the source transactions have been posted.

In some cases, when Inter-Entity Transactions does not create transactions, please check the G/L Posting Errors report for details on the issues.

Where they occur after posting, details will appear in the appropriate IET Audit Log.

Orchid recommends that you review the Audit Inquiry Logs regularly to identify transactions that failed to post successfully. You should aim to correct them quickly, e.g. before someone manually creates missing transactions, thereby breaking the chain you have set up in Inter-Entity.

Tip:

With Inter-Entity Trade OE/PO, you can nominate whether to:

  • Display messages after all transactions, or;
  • Only display messages when there are errors, or;
  • Not display messages at all - This is generally used when third party applications create transactions.
