    WHEN OUR BANKERS TRIED TO PUT THE AMOUNT IN RESPECT OF SBC UNDER 0441493 THE SYSTEM DID NOT ACCEPT THE SAME AND SHOWED AN ERROR MESSAGE “MAJOR AND MINOR HEAD MISMATCH”. THEY AGAIN TRIED WITH THE MAJOR HEAD 506 BUT SILL NOT ABLED TO ENTER THE SAME IN THE ACCOUNT HEAD. HOW CAN THE PROBLEM BE SOLVED FOR NEXT MONTH? WHAT IS THE CORRECT FIELD IN THE ONLINE FORMAT TO ENTER THE ACCOUNT CODE FOR SBC AND WHERE TO ENTER THE MAJOR AND MINOR HEADS?
    A REPLY TO THIS WOULD BE HIGLY APPRECIATED.

    THANKS AND REGARDS
