This program logs all BIW (Business Information Warehouse) transactions that are in error after the transfer from the Originating company to the Corporate (Group reporting) company.
The log records can consist of the following two types:
- Warning: An example could be missing table records in the Corporate company. The BIW transactions are always updated. A record (without the description) is created in the Break level text table in the Corporate company. To correct the error you run the program Update break level texts (originating company) in the Originating company to retrieve and update the original description from the Originating company to the Break level text table in the Corporate company. You run this program for each applicable originating company. You can then delete the applicable error log record in this program.
- Error: These are errors of a more severe nature. Some examples could be that the consolidated value and originating value could be different in the applicable table/file; the originating value could be incorrectly set-up; the consolidated value does not exist in the Corporate company. The easiest way to fix this is to add the value in the Corporate company and delete the applicable error log record in this program. This will reset the base BIW transaction(s) with that error so that they can be passed, once again, through the consolidation process during the transfer. If the correction was not done properly, an error log record will be generated for the transaction the next time the transfer is performed.
Note: If there is an error with account conversion, the originating and consolidated main account will be displayed.

Work with BIW transactions in error, Deletion (ANLD96008)
From this panel you delete the selected error log records. If deleting an ERROR, the deletion clears the error codes in the BIW transaction file. If deleting a WARNING, there are no error codes in the BIW Transaction file because the system updates all balance keys and values for warnings. Instead, the error code on the actual record is cleared. When transferring transactions from the Originating company to the Corporate company, the transfer and update will go through if OK. Otherwise the log will appear in this file again. Click OK to confirm deletion.
