Item Revaluation still using old G/L account after posting group update

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Jinal P. 312

Hi everyone,

I posted a few inventory transactions earlier with the wrong Gen. Product Posting Group and Inventory Posting Group. I’ve now corrected the setup, and all items currently have the correct posting groups.

However, when I try to adjust cost using the Item Revaluation Journal, the system is still posting to the old G/L account instead of the updated one.

Is there any way to make the revaluation use the new/correct G/L accounts, or how can I fix this properly?

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Often (most cases) when you make these changes it wont retroactively change the posting groups on already posted transactions.
     
    Few options:
    1. You need to either add those old posting groups with the correct G/L accounts and then run the revaluation journal. You dont need to change the master data such as the items. You just need to add the Gen. Product Posting Group and Inventory Posting Group back and update the G/L Accounts for them.
    2. You can get a developer to change the posting accounts on those transactions. Could be costly, timely and usually requires work with a partner.
    3. There are also some tools like the data editor that let you change those records yourself but I highly caution any usage of these unless you are a super user because you could irreparably screw up transactions. See a data editor tool here: Table Data Editor for Business Central - if you take this approach you should test in a sandbox first and validate everything is okay then you can replicate in production.
