'Error in record x: OSS Report type: The Report type must be valid' when importing into Sage 50 Accounts
Description

When importing data into Sage 50 Accounts, you may receive the following file import error:

'OSS Report type: The Report type must be valid (Union OSS = 1, Non-Union OSS = 2, IOSS = 3).'
Cause

This message appears when you try to import a transaction where the number in the OSS Report Type field is not 1, 2 or 3.

Resolution

To fix this error, amend the relevant line on the import file as follows then import the file again.

  • If the transaction is not an OSS/IOSS transaction, remove the OSS Report Type value.
  • If the transaction falls under OSS/IOSS reporting, change the OSS Report Type value to 1 for Union OSS, 2 for Non-Union OSS or 3 for IOSS.
