Neville,
You are correct in fearing the G/L Rebuild in 3.5.2. There are several
'reporting' errors in the Verify and Rebuild programs. That is, they will
report errors that do not actually exist. Also, Rebuild can actually
create a new error in the database. If you have a large number of
postings, as is possible when running AFI, the event number eventually
cycles back around to number one. However, when Rebuild rebuilds the
events numbers, it cycles back to 0. Zero, of course, tells the system the
line has not been processed - when it actually has been.
What happened to us is this: (a) Before last year-end we ran Verify to see
if things were in order; (b) Verify stated we had errors (now known to be
bogus), so we ran Rebuild to correct; (c) Rebuild 'corrected' the database
(actually it screwed it up) and reported more errors than Verify had (some
bogus, some real). Geac 'help' desk was helpless. Fortunately, I finally
got it all figured out on my own.
So, avoid Verify and Rebuild if at all possible.
Good luck!

Hello,
I have recently found that the General Ledger detail file does not balance
to the General Ledger Header file.
On further investigation I have the same occurrence in the Sales Ledger and
Purchase Ledger Suites.
Has anyone experienced the same problem. I know there is a rebuild but I am
hesitant to use as the reason for the
imbalance has not been determined. The detail records have the correct
balances in the General Ledger.
I am on 3.5.2b with service packs 3 & 4 about to be installed in test.
Regards,
