    B016Invalid Portfolio Type

    The Portfolio Type code is not one of the valid Metro 2 values

    Affected Field
    #14Portfolio Type

    Description

    The Portfolio Type field must contain a single valid character: C (line of credit), I (installment), M (mortgage), O (open), or R (revolving). Any other value is rejected. Portfolio Type also drives which other fields are required, so an invalid value cascades into downstream edits.

    Common Causes

    • Mapping an internal product code directly without translation
    • Lowercase or blank Portfolio Type
    • Using a value from a different field's code set

    How to Fix

    1. 1Map every internal product to one of C, I, M, O, R
    2. 2Uppercase the value and ensure it is exactly one character
    3. 3Confirm Portfolio Type agrees with Account Type

    Examples

    Invalid
    L
    Valid
    I
    L is not defined; an installment loan uses I
