CESOP error 20060
“Missing CorrDocRefId”
Caught before you file
What it means
A payee marked as a correction or deletion (CESOP2 or CESOP3) has no CorrDocRefId, so CESOP cannot tell which record it acts on.
Why files get it
- Corrections generated from current data without keeping the original DocRefIds.
How to fix it
- Keep the DocRefId of every payee you file, and put it in CorrDocRefId when that payee is corrected or deleted.
