Account S1200-610 Validation ERROR

We have received numerous emails and calls related to a validation error on certain owner-certified submissions to REAC.

The problem does not appear to affect normal audited submission. REAC was notified of the error and they are currently working on a solution. The following message was posted on the FASSUB notification page last week. REAC wants to ensure users that data already entered for owner-certified submissions, will not be lost as a result of any corrections. Users are encouraged to wait for the completion of repairs to finalize any owner-certified submissions with this error.

Validation Error - Account S1200-610:  There is a programming problem that is causing validation errors for Account S1200-610 on certain submissions. REAC is working on the problem and will implement a fix as soon as possible. Correction of this problem will not affect data that has already been entered. We will notify you in a subsequent newsletter.
