CHECKRESOURCEWarning (W)

A resource code that isn't valid this year

CDE's wordingThe following codes for RESOURCE are not valid. Data should be corrected or narrative must be provided explaining why the exception(s) should be considered appropriate.

Warning. CDE accepts it with an explanation entered in the TRC explanations.

What it means

A resource code that isn't valid this year

Each resource is checked against CDE's valid list for the year. Because grants come and go, this is the most common code failure at year end: a resource that posted all year can be retired by the time the actuals are due.

Why it fires

The usual causes

  • A one-time grant resource CDE closed, still carrying a residual balance or late activity
  • A resource CDE renumbered between years
  • A local resource outside the ranges CDE reserves for locally defined codes (the export must roll it up to the CDE resource)
How to fix it

The repair

  • Move the balance and activity to the successor resource CDE named, or to the resource that should carry them.
  • If a small residual balance is all that remains and it cannot be moved, CDE accepts a written explanation with the warning.
  • Expect CHK-FUNDxRESOURCE and CHK-RESOURCExOBJECTA to fire on the same rows; they clear together.

What the tool shows

Lists the code with line numbers and, where it is one edit away from a valid resource, the likely intended one. The combination checks that fire because of it are shown under their own ids.

When CDE changes the technical review checks, hear about it once. A short note the week the new tables post, nothing else.
