After creating calculations or calculation options, they must first be validated by the system to make sure there are no errors. If there are any, the system may issue a warning or error message. Below some warnings and errors are outlined with a small explanation to clarify what the error is, where it occurs, what action(s) should be taken to fix the error.
The configured object type id(s) is invalid
| Calculatie of calculatie optie | Warning of Error | Reden voor bericht | Fix | Voorbeeld | EN | NL |
| Calculation Options | Error | The configured object type id(s) is invalid | Correct the reported object type | reference=children[1234;5602] | Child object type %1% is invalid | Onderliggend objecttype %1% is ongeldig |
What is the error message: An error that occurs when you try to refer to an object ID that does not exist (anymore)
Where does the error message occur: in the calculation options
What action should be taken to fix the error message: change the object ID to an existing ID so that the calculation is correct again. This is because it cannot refer to an ID that does not exist
The configured reference field is invalid
| Calculatie of calculatie optie | Warning of Error | Reden voor bericht | Fix | Voorbeeld | EN | NL |
| Calculation Options | Error | The configured reference field is invalid | Corrected the reported field | reference=InvalidFieldName | Field %1% is not a valid reference field. Is the capitalization correct? | Veld %1% is geen geldig referentieveld. Klopt het hoofdlettergebruik? |
What is the error message: an error that occurs when you try to reference a field in your calculation that does not exist or is misspelled
Where does the error message occur: in the calculation options
What action should be taken to fix the error message: check that the field you are referencing actually exists. Is there a spelling error in the field? References are also case sensitive so check for that as well. If there is no spelling error in the reference, the referenced field may not exist (anymore)
The configured relationtype is invalid
| Calculatie of calculatie optie | Warning of Error | Reden voor bericht | Fix | Voorbeeld | EN | NL |
| Calculation Options | Error | The configured relationtype is invalid | This should not be used anymore | relation=dependency | Reference field triggers have the following format: relation=RELATION_TYPE[FOLDER_TYPE_ID_1,FOLDER_TYPE_ID_N] (e.g. relation=planning[5602]) | Referentieveldtriggers hebben de volgende notatie: relation=RELATION_TYPE[FOLDER_TYPE_ID_1,FOLDER_TYPE_ID_N] (bijv. relation=planning[5602]) |
What is the error message: an error that occurs when a relation is used in the reference field that does not exist (anymore)
Where does the error message occur: in the calculation options
What action should be taken to fix the error message: use another relation (also called dependency). This is because the relationship used now no longer exists or is spelled incorrectly
The configured option is not valid at all

| Calculation Options | Warning | The configured option is not valid at all | Do not use this field anymore | NotEvenAValidOption | Option %1% not recognized | Optie %1% niet herkend |
What is the error message: a warning that occurs when an option, which is configured, is not a valid option
Where does the error message occur: in the calculation options
What action should be taken to fix the error message: use a different configuration for this field. This is because the current configuration is not recognized, causing the system to issue a warning
This option makes the calculation slow

What is the error message: a warning that occurs when the field name used in a calculation cannot be validated
Where does the error message occur: in a calculation
What action should be taken to fix the error message: check that the field really exists and pay attention to the spelling. This is because the system cannot verify whether the field used exists or not
