Error message when you print a batch edit list or post a batch in General Ledger in Microsoft Dynamics GP: "The stored procedure glpBatchCleanup returned the following results: DBMS 0, Great Plains 20488"

Resolution 1 (May get DBMS errors for GP 20488 or 20486)

To resolve this problem, re-create the SY00500 - Posting Definitions Master table. To re-create this table, use one of the following methods.

Note If the SY00500 table contains a trigger, the trigger must be re-created after you follow these steps.

Method 1: Use SQL Maintenance

1. Make a full backup of Microsoft Dynamics GP.
2. From the Microsoft Dynamics GP menu, point to Maintenance, and then click SQL.
3. Click the company database that is receiving the error.
4. In the Table list, click Posting Definitions Master.
5. On the right side of the window, click to select every check box, and then click Process.
6. Click
   Yes when you receive the following message:
   You have selected to drop tables; this will delete any data in them. Are you sure you want to continue?

This procedure re-creates the SY00500 - Posting Definitions Master table. However, you will temporarily lose all unposted batches. To retrieve these unposted batches, run the Check Links program on the sub modules. Then, reconcile the batches for General Ledger. However, this sets any batches that are set to Recurring to
Single Use. You must change these batches back to
Recurring.

To retrieve the batches, follow these steps.

Note If you use the Multicurrency option in Payables Management in Microsoft Dynamics GP, run the Check Links program on the Payables Transaction History Logical file before you run the Check Links program on the Payables Transaction Logical file.

1. To run the Check Links program on the following files, from the Microsoft Dynamics GP menu, click Maintenance, click
   Check Links, click one of the following series names, and then type the corresponding file name. Follow this step for the following files:
   • Series name: Payables Management
     
     File name: Purchasing Series - Payables Transaction Logical
   • Series name: Purchase Order Processing
     
     File name: Purchasing Series - Purchasing Transaction Logical
   • Series name: Receivables Management
     
     File name: Sales Series - Receivables Open Transaction
   • Series name: Invoicing
     
     File name: Sales Series - Invoice Work File
   • Series name: Sales Order Processing
     
     File name: Sales - Sales Work File
   • Series name: Inventory
     
     File name: Inventory - Inventory Transaction Work file
   • Series name: Bill of Materials
     
     File name: Inventory - Inventory - Bill of Materials Transactions file
2. If you use Project Accounting with Microsoft Dynamics GP, you must also run Check Links on the following files. To run Check Links on the following files, on the Microsoft Dynamics GP menu, point to Maintenance, click PA Check Links, click Insert, and then click one of the following table names. Follow this step for the following files:
   • Timesheet Batches – PA Timesheet Transactions
   • Miscellaneous Log Batches – PA Miscellaneous Log Transactions
   • Equipment Log Batches - PA Equipment Log Transactions
   • Inventory Transfer Batches - PA Inventory Transfer Transactions
   • Receivings Batches – PA Purchasing Transactions
   • Revenue Recognition Batches – PA Revenue Recog Transactions
   • Employee Expense Batches – PA Employee Expense Transactions
   • Billing Batches – PA Billing Transactions
3. If any batches exist in Microsoft Great Plains General Ledger, on the Microsoft Dynamics GP menu, point to Tools, point to Utilities, point to Financial, and then click Reconcile. Click to select the Batches check box, and then click Reconcile to reconcile your batches.
