Resolving Error Code Q047: A Comprehensive Guide

Error code Q047, also known as "CLEARING INQUIRY INVALID," indicates that there is no prior posting for the transaction type. This guide will help you understand how to address this issue effectively.

Understanding the Issue

The error arises when a posting is unresolved in the system, often requiring specific actions to clear it. If you've already posted on time but it's not reflected, contacting the relevant office with proper documentation becomes essential.

Steps to Clear Error Code Q047

1. Change Transaction Type: To resolve this error, change your transaction type from "resubmit" to "used clear and review". Ensure that you check the box for ASF due.
2. Create Necessary Documentation:
   • If applicable, provide a copy of your RDF (Request for Documentation) along with a Statement of Facts explaining your situation.
   • This documentation should be sent directly to DMV or SPU along with your work order. It helps in waiving any potential penalties associated with the transaction.
3. Acknowledge Late Submission: When processing online, ensure you select “clear” instead of “resubmit.” Check the ASF box indicating that this item is late before proceeding.
4. If You Encounter Further Issues: Save your deal details and seek further assistance if necessary. It's crucial not to overlook any steps during this process.
5. E-filing Considerations: If opting for e-filing as a clear submission, be aware that penalties may apply unless sufficient documentation justifying delays can be provided.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If you're unsure about whether you've completed all necessary steps correctly, consult an expert or reach out for additional support regarding error code Q047.
