CER089 Export Error in Certinia Integration

If you see the error:

CER089: Assignment required for Project.

This means the selected Project in Certinia requires an assignment before expenses can be exported, preventing the export from completing.

Why the CER089 Export Error Happens in Certinia

The CER089 error typically indicates:

• The Project configuration requires expenses to be linked to an assignment.
• The expense being exported does not have an associated assignment.
• Certinia validation failed due to Project assignment rules.

This is a Certinia Project configuration issue, not a Workspace configuration issue.
