Thanks Ian and siva!!..

Siva and Ian, when I print the edit report all i get is

"This transaction contains error. It wont be posted. "

Is there any other ways to find the more detail cause of this issue?

Hello Bab

Can you delete the transaction in question and enter it again to see if that resolves the issue?

Siva there are other invoices too that are affected so i can't delete them.

The difference between those invoices and other invoices are that they dont have a primary address code. I dont think it is required for posting but can we setup a GP and make it required for posting? How we do that in GP? or How we check if Primary address code is required for posting?

If you know please share.

Thanks

Hi Bab,

Usually the Transaction Edit List specifies what the errors are.

You don't need an Address ID or Remit-To-ID on the invoice but if there is one then it can be any address from the creditor/vendor.

Other things to check;

• The distributions all contain valid codes

• Distribution values are correct

• Codes are not inactive

• Codes have not been flagged as Allow Account Entry=False since they were added

• The financial period is open

Hi Bab,

It`s seldoom that there`s message ("This transaction contains error. It wont be posted.") on top of the batch edit list and ther`s no error description with Transactions/Description. Normally when you open editlist for batch having errors you will find detail error descriptions with ** at the start of string. In larger batches I normaill find text "**" using Ctrl+ F to find the error stiring. did you try finding the lines??

Can you give a little details like:

1) What is the module(POP, SOP, PM, RM, IV)?

2) What types of transactions are there in the bach(sales Invoice, Debit memo etc)

such information can help us tracing the issue.

Thanks

Hi Bab,

maybe if it is a sales transaction, you could check if the Inventory items has the Cost of Good sold account on the setup.

If they don't have it you should put it line by line (Item By Item) on the transaction.They doesn't appear in the transaction distribution but  they are required in posting sales transactions.

Regards

I agree with Tariq, if the exact error message is really "This transaction contains error. It wont be posted.", then this is not a GP error message I have ever seen.  Perhaps there is a 3rd party product or customization that is giving that error?  From the other posts in this thread it sounds like this is an SOP invoice?  If so, the Batch Edit List should give you a lot more detail on what the issue is, usually it is inline with the transaction details.
