Understanding the Ause099 Error Let’s first break down why the Sage Error Ause099 happens in the first place. In essence, this error occurs because some data Sage 50 requires to reconstruct company information has become damaged or unreadable.

Software bugs or outdated components causing faulty data inputs/outputs. Virus infection spreading corrupted entries throughout company files. Hard drive errors scrambling parts of the company data tables. Since Sage 50 expects properly structured data to generate financial statements, customer records, GL postings, budgets, invoice details and more, any corruption causes this critical error appearing when trying to access the company file.
