Subscription Contract Deferrals Release

(6) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 19
I've just started using Vendor Subscriptions.  When I try to run the Subscription Contract Deferrals Release, I get an error message as noted below.  My problem is that I don't know where in the setup the General Journal Template needs to be specified.  The Vendor Contracts I've created reference Non-Inventory Items and in some cases the payee is an Alternate Vendor.  Not sure if any of that matters.
 

Error message:
The Gen. Journal Template does not exist. Identification fields and values: Name=''

    Hello,
     
    The error occurs because no General Journal Template and Batch are defined for Vendor Deferrals in Subscription Contract Setup, so the system tries to post with Name='' and fails. To fix it, go to Subscription Contract Setup, fill in the Vendor Deferral Gen. Journal Template and Vendor Deferral Gen. Journal Batch (create them first in General Journal Templates/Batches if they don’t exist), then rerun the Contract Deferrals Release report. This is unrelated to non-inventory items or alternate vendors — it’s purely missing journal setup.

    Thanks for your response, but I don't see any reference to Vendor Deferrals on the Subscription Contract Setup.  That's why I'm struggling.
