When the next document cannot find the one before it

You can work out in order why a KO For grid is empty…

The empty grid

Step 1 — Work out why the grid is empty, in order

An empty KO For grid will cost you minutes, not an afternoon.

What you do
  1. Ask in this order

Step 2 — Close what will never come, and keep the reason

A dead balance will stop distorting your figures.

What you do
  1. Write the reason in the order's remarks first…

Taking it back

Step 3 — Take a chain apart from the last document back

A void refused for linked documents will go through.

What you do
  1. Read the source's Doc Link tab, void the last document first and work back

Step 4 — Bring back a document finalised before its pair existed

You will know the way back.

What this step names
  1. Re-queue those yourself in the Data Fix applet
  2. Under Generic Documents
  3. Missing Open Queue: pick the document's type and the pair's target
  4. Search the dates
  5. Tick only the missing documents

The routine

Step 5 — Run the weekly check of what is still open

You will see what is still open without opening documents one by one.

What this step names
  1. When the pair is configured
  2. The links are right and a balance is still wrong
  3. It is a support matter: send the order number
  4. The company
  5. The quantities ordered and invoiced or received

Left and right arrows, or the space bar, move between slides; f is full screen and Esc leaves it. Clicking the left or right half of a slide pages it. Play and pause belong to you — nothing moves on by itself unless you tick the box above.
