Problems Setting Value

Problem

Closing a Cost Account gives error msg concerning field PYNT (in Goldenseal accounting software version 1.04 and maybe earlier)
PYNT is the Total Payables field in the blue box in the lower right corner of the window.

May get this error occasionally in other versions and locations.

Diagnosis

The problem will occur when saving a record in Goldenseal accounting software or closing a window. It usually happens when we have added a new field, and forgot to add the code that sets a value for that field. Normally we catch it in testing but every few years it seems like we add something at the last minute and miss it in testing.

Solution

Users can ignore the message, it's nothing serious (usually it happens for a calculated value where we aren't storing anything for it anyhow). Report a bug and we'll get it fixed for the next version.
