After doing upgrades, all DIC came back with no errors. I started to do my daily work, but could not go past trying to create a batch. Once I select new after selecting invoices in AP, an error message comes up.

Error Message: Error adding record to Payables Batch Control, record already exists.

I am at batch number 8865 however when I say OK to the error message it comes back with another error message stating that it cannot write to a low numbered batch like 18.

Error Message: Error writing to the batch 18

I executed the HotFix thinking that that would help but that didn't work.

Can anyone help?
