#REF Error Fixes

How do #REF! Errors Occur?

• #REF! Errors occur when information on the Producer file Entry Screens is moved from one line to another. (i.e if on the Auto Entry Screen a date is dragged from one line to another).

• To avoid these errors in the future, please enter the policy information in each line, do not move it, cut it or drag it.

How Do I Fix the Error?

• Click on the light blue FIX ERRORS button at the top of the screen…

• Then click on the orange ACCESS THE #REF FIX FILE button (See Video 2 Below)
