After rebuilding your company file in QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise, the QBWIN.log (QuickBooks log files) displays Target Chaining errors such as these:
Verify.c (4620) : CHECKPOINT: 1104: Thu Jul 14 15:36:39 Target Chaining: Target ###### in transaction ######, points to ‘next’ target ###### which is NOT in that transaction
Verify.c (4747) : CHECKPOINT: 3544: Fri Jul 01 11:25:45 Target Chaining: Next target pointer error in transaction #####
In some cases, you might also get an Unrecoverable Error message.
When the company file contains these chaining errors, bills (or sometimes invoices) and payments are unlinked and the corresponding payments do not have names. You may also see In Version 2.0 in the Entered/Last Modified column instead of the actual date of affected transactions when you run Audit Trail or Transaction Detail reports.
