Issue
When processing an entry in Basecone, the following error message may appear:
"Accounting system error, an error occurred while saving . Value in the Debtor/Creditor field of the Journal Entries file is invalid."
This error originates from AccountView and indicates that the debtor or creditor specified in the entry cannot be found in the administration for the selected fiscal year.

Possible causes include:
The debtor or creditor has not yet been created.
The debtor or creditor exists only in a previous fiscal year.
The debtor or creditor was not carried forward when the new fiscal year was created.
An incorrect debtor or creditor number was entered in the booking.
Resolution
Verify That the Debtor or Creditor Exists
Open the administration in AccountView.
Check whether the debtor or creditor used in the entry exists in the relevant fiscal year.
Search using the debtor/creditor number or name referenced in the transaction.
Debtor or Creditor Is Missing
If the debtor or creditor does not exist:
Create the debtor or creditor in the relevant fiscal year.
Save the changes.
Reprocess the entry in Basecone.
Debtor or Creditor Exists Only in a Previous Fiscal Year
If the debtor or creditor exists in an earlier fiscal year:
Verify whether the debtor or creditor was carried forward to the current fiscal year.

Reprocess the entry in Basecone.
Additional Verification
