CESOP error 45060
“Zero value for 'Amount' element”
Caught before you file
What it means
A transaction has an amount of zero. A reported transaction moves money, in one direction or the other.
Why files get it
- Cancelled or failed payments left in the export.
- Rounding that turns very small amounts into 0.00.
How to fix it
- Exclude payments that did not move money, and keep amounts at two decimals without rounding them away.
