When importing data into Sage 50 Accounts, you may receive one of the following file import errors:

Error in record x: Cost Code Refn: Reference to non-existent project cost code

NOTE: For a list of other file import errors view our A-Z Import Errors guide.

This message appears when you try to import a record or transaction that refers to a non-existent project cost code.

To fix this error, either:

• Remove this line from the import file
• Change the project cost code on the import file
• Create the project cost code

 TIP: If you populate a project and cost code with 0 instead of leaving them blank. it can it also give the error. Make sure any with 0 are left blank instead.

Once complete, try and import the file again.
