    Hi Mapule,

    As soon as they try to update Invoice batches.

    Best Regards

    Thank you for the feedback.

    Create a backup of the data and rebuild the customer master file. Please refer to this knowledge base article for instructions to rebuild files.

    If the error persists, check the customer accounts in Pastel for any blank descriptions. One of the invoices in the affected user’s batch might be missing a description. To do so, click on Edit | Customers | Accounts. From there, page down through the list using the Page Down key on your keyboard. The system will stop on any account that has a blank description. Type the description, save the changes and keep paging down to the last account on the list. Test to see if you can update the user’s batch. If you are still unable to update the batch, try updating the invoices one at a time by putting the rest on hold and only leave one one to update . That way, you will be able to identify the invoice with the customer account causing the error. 

    Regards,
