Solution or Workaround

Important
The following should only be done by a Sage Certified Consultant or Business Partner. Create a full and verified backup before proceeding. This should first be attempted in a test installation and the results should be fully verified before implementing in a live system.

This message indicates that data has been imported into the APMAST table from an external file or third party product. The message occurs when a negative amount payable (debit memo) record has a blank value in the APMAST.Aptype field. It is the result of having a negative value for the payable (debit memo).

To resolve the issue, identify the invoice in APMAST which is creating the message and populate the APMAST.Aptype field with a “D”.
