Technical review check

DEBT-PY-BALFatal (F)

Where it lives: Form DEBT. This check is answered inside the SACS Web System, not from the general ledger export.

CDE's wordingThe Schedule of Long-Term Liabilities (Form DEBT) has not been provided. Because long-term liability ending balances were included in the prior year unaudited actuals data, Form DEBT must be provided.

Fatal. The Official Export will not run until it is cleared.

What it means

The check

The Schedule of Long-Term Liabilities (Form DEBT) has not been provided, and last year's submission carried long-term liability ending balances.

How to fix it

Where to fix it

  • Open Form DEBT; the prior year balances preload, so enter this year's activity and save.
In SACS Pre-Flight

Not run from the export

Not run by SACS Pre-Flight: it needs data that is not in the Other Export. When your export carries CDE's own review log, Pre-Flight lists this check under 'Not run here' rather than counting it.

See every check on your own file before the system runs them. Drop a SACS Other Export (.dat) into SACS Pre-Flight: findings with line numbers, free, entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your computer.

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