39.6. What causes the "Duplicate or Invalid Transaction ID" Error?

When filing your California Form 460, you may see an error that says:

**********************************************************************
This filing will be rejected because of an error at line: 4
Form/Schedule: F460 Record Type: CVR3
Field number 3 contains a duplicate or invalid transaction ID.

If you see this error, check your Criteria page. There is a section on the Criteria page for Report Signer, with two dropdowns. Many campaigns with only one Report Signer (such as a Treasurer) will enter the Treasurer in both dropdowns, but because this pulls an ID for that record to the report, selecting the same record in both drop downs will cause a duplicate ID, which results in an error.

To resolve this error, all you need to do is leave the Second Report Signer dropdown blank, this will result in the Report Signer pulling only once to the report, and avoid the Duplicate ID error.
