KBA-01914: Microsoft Dynamics SL Error = 5

Problem:

When you approve pending subcontract payments in Microsoft Dynamics SL, the following error appears:

Payment Approval process update aborted. Error = 5 on BATCH.

Solution:

This error occurs because the value in APSETUP has the wrong LastBatNbr.

Have your SQL Admin run the following script:

begin tran 
declare @RealNext VARCHAR(63) = (select max(batnbr) from dbo.batch where module = 'AP')
update dbo.apsetup set LastBatNbr = @RealNext  where LastBatNbr  < @RealNext
rollback
