The Reason Number Field in the ReasonsForCancellation Table
Records in the ReasonsForCancellation table should be in numerical order beginning with 0 and proceeding sequentially with no gaps in enumeration. Be sure that the Reason Number field in each table as it is displayed in the Customization Manager reflects the proper order and enumeration. Reasons that are out of order or tables containing numerical gaps can lead to the wrong reasons being applied to transactions as they are canceled or conditionalized.
