    ProSeries Basic - client billing options error message

    janeo
    Level 2

    I just started getting an error message each time I set my clients billing options. 

    Client Billing Options: Form description has too many characters.  Form 14039B Business Identity Theft Affidavit. 

    I have to shorten the name of the form to make the error go away.

    Why am I getting this error?  Was there an update that is causing this?  I have never used this form.

    It is unlikely they will fix it soon.

    We just need to go into the worksheet and shorten the name to get rid of the error.

    Good afternoon, we wanted to reach out and give you an update on this. There is an issue and our team is now aware and will work on a solution. We have found a workaround in the meantime, just go in the Charges per Form table and delete the word "Affidavit". Thank you for letting us know.

    I am getting the same error message and I can't get rid of it.  I tried deleting that line but it comes back.  Tried updating software but no update available. so now I can't do per form charges.

    I can't modify the form charges page.  How?

    Don't delete the entire line.  Just delete one word.
