Reason Code Discount not working

I have a Reason Code we're using for a discount. It's coming up with different errors in different locations. One of the errors is, "Validation Error 306: Reason Code." Basically the issue is that when the stores use this reason code, RMS appears to take it, but they get the error message when they try to Tender the transaction. They pick another reason code and it works fine. I checked it, edited it and downloaded reason codes several times, but cannot get it to work. I tried deleting the start and end dates, changing them, etc. Still no luck. When I look at the Reasoncodes table, it looks fine - it says type

4 like all the others. Also, when they use this code, it does not show up under the item the way others do.

Any suggestions??? I don't want to delete and re-enter because it would end up with a different ID - and we want to compare this year's results to LY. (It worked fine last year.)

Sometimes we get these errors when a combo of reason codes are used - in our case it is issues with returning an item (thus prompting/requiring a return reason code) and changing the line item price (discount reason code). We have to open the reason codes from the menu, select proper return and discount again (sticking with the same codes as selected before). It is goofy and time consuming, but all revolves around the way the transaction is dealt with. Sometimes we have issues, but I have never paid attention to who/how the trxs are being worked. Oh - same also happens with Tax.

Basically what I am saying is that I don't think (and could be) it is an issue with your actual codes - but with the layering of the codes - forcing you to reselect. Does this make any sense?

Yes, it does make sense. But these transactions are very simple. Sell an item. Hit "Discount" button. Type in 20%. System prompts for reason code. Pick CustDisc03. Hit Tender. Get Error message.

Pick a different reason code, like CustDisc01 - no error.

I just want to be able to track CustDisc03 and I'm afraid that if I delete it and create a new one, the system might not be able to tell the difference.
