Running problem reports to identify potential problems is the last of seven procedures you should complete as you prepare for Archiving.
It is essential to prepare properly before you perform data archiving; you cannot change data once you have archived.

Run each of the Accounting module problem reports available from Special Procedures/Year End Close/Prepare for Year End/Problem Reports:
- Accounts
- Cost Centers
- Major Codes
- Budget Code
- References W/O Trans
You need to perform this procedure just once for each group of accounts and/or Cost Centers being archived.
Note: If you discover that codes are missing, it means they have been used in the budget and/or transaction file and deleted from the corresponding setup screen (Account, Cost Center, or Object Code). They must be re-entered into the corresponding setup screen (Account, Cost Center, or Object Code) before you can perform a year-end close.
