To view the record, navigate to Administrative Services -> Restart Maintenance. The screen looks like:

It provides the error condition by task details, date, time, User Id performing the task, database Id.  To view all the records use the navigation buttons. The Information that appears is useful in determining which task was not completed. If the error is fixed, the restart record for that task is automatically deleted from Restart Maintenance.

The record should be deleted if you no longer need to run the process again. Reason being that if the record is not deleted; the message will be displayed the next time the user logs into Sage 300 ERP. The message states that the “Earlier Processing was not completed. Use Restart Maintenance to see which operations stopped due to errors”.
