Reporting errors or requesting improvements to CCH masterpacks
Currently, CCH are only notified of a problem where a user has raised it with the Support team or one of our customer service representatives. As a result, minor problems dealt with by users themselves are not logged and are unlikely to be fixed. We wish to provide users with a simple way to notify us of errors or make suggestions for improvements.
Note: that assistance requests relating to current problems should still be addressed to the Support team in the usual way.
Where users have corrected errors without requiring the assistance of Support, or where they wish to notify CCH about suggested improvements, please email the information directly to the analyst responsible for maintaining the AP formats, Edward Wicke ([email protected]).
Key information required:
- Master pack name
- Master pack version
- Format page or note number [for statutory database issues, the database node; for name range or nominal code issues, that information]
- A very simple description, preferably also identifying the tab and row number for the format (e.g. We normally fix reported errors within a few days of their notification and therefore the fix will appear in the next master pack. If you suggest an improvement, you should receive a reply about its feasibility within a few days.)

Pensions master pack (no changes to master pack 16)
Issues to be aware of: Order of pages: The auditor's statement about contributions has been moved down to sit just above the summary of contributions. If updating to the latest master pack does not reproduce this movement, the user should choose the option within the Financial statements screen to Reset the collection.
Contents page: The formulae for rows 27-30 refers to P05AuditReport but should be amended to P05AuditReport2.
Software Enhancements
Statutory Database - Clearing the text of a paragraph
Previously if you deleted all the text of a paragraph and pressed 'OK', a message popped up to say that there is a blank text box and if left, you will get an 'ixnonnumeric' and 'malformed XML' error when filing electronically. You should instead use the option to Clear the paragraph which performs slightly differently although it looks the same.
Unfortunately some users left the blank paragraph and later encountered these errors. Now, instead of the error message, we automatically Clear the paragraph.
Quality Improvements
CCH Accounts Production
ADO 472265 - Import - On importing a client, an error occasionally happened importing the accounts pages
The error was "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_FormatVersion'. Duplicate key in 'AP.FormatVersion'"
CCH iXBRL Review & Tag
ADO 464614 - Conversion from Excel - Reading from Excel could sometimes get stuck in a loop
The error was unusual and occurred on certain large ranges of merged cells, in the example seen, A5:A55.
