If a donation cannot be claimed against it will have a reclaim status of Error and be excluded from the claim. To find out what the error is use the column selector button - highlighted in yellow below - to include the ErrorDetails column - as shown in green - this will enable you to find out what the problem is.
Once you have corrected an error the donation error details will be updated when the claim has been refreshed manually or as part of the overnight refresh of the Active Claims tab.
Any donations with errors in the Ready Claim will not be submitted as part of the claim to HMRC. Instead, when the Ready Claim is submitted, the donations with errors will be passed back to the Active Claim, and any corrections are applied to them there, ready for the next submission.
Please note: If your errored transactions are not reappearing in the Active Claim, it's likely that your claim is still showing 'Submitted' rather than 'Claimed'. Please click the below button:
Once the claim shows as 'Claimed', the errored transactions will then reappear/become available again for the Active Claim.
