Code 4: The Header and Total accounts in this data file aren't sequenced properly. 

The following message may appear when you open the 2013-04 version of AgExpert Analyst:

Code 4: The Header and Total accounts in this data file aren't sequenced properly.  Review the chart of accounts to ensure that the pattern is Header > Total in each tab.

This message will appear if a:

  • header account was created inside another header or total block
  • total account was created without a previously created header account, and wasn’t associated with one
  • header account was created that has no matching total account

To fix this

  1. Select Chart of Accounts from the Setup menu.
  2. Look for the missing header or total accounts in the chart of accounts.The structure you are looking for in your chart of accounts is:
    • Header Account
    • Detail or Primary or Subaccount
    • Total Account
  3. If you see accounts that do not follow that pattern, you’ll need to make alterations to your chart of accounts to correct this. 
  4. Click Close
