What is Data Verification?
Description

Resolution

Data Verification is a Sage 50 utility that verifies if any of your data files are missing or damaged. While the test is running, Sage 50 may make corrections to the data. For example, if an ID of a record has more than the maximum allowable characters, Sage 50 will truncate the ID.

Following verification, Sage 50 generates a log that details all errors encountered and reports on any changes made, as well as any corrupt records deleted. This log is in your companies’ data directory. To locate your companies’ directory, browse to Maintain, Company Information.

The following are types of tests you can perform:

  • Data Reliability: This test checks that all company data files are using the required format. In most cases, Sage 50 will attempt to correct data errors for you. Follow any instructions presented on screen
  • Data Access: This test checks that the data path is valid, and that Sage 50 can access all your data files successfully. This test searches for all linked Sage 50 data path files with Sage 50 company files
  • Both Tests (recommended): Performs both the Data Reliability and Data Access tests. We recommend that you choose this option

Follow How to run the Data Verification for steps on loading, accessing, and running the above tests.
