Distribution Account overrides revert to original accounts when the transactions are saved

Entering a Purchase Receiving Transaction, the user opens the Line Item Detail Entry Screen and changes the Distribution Account, in this example, to a Fixed Asset account, because the PO was established to acquire a fixed asset. Most of the time, this same item is purchased to inventory.

Another line, there is a Service Item, with an account number, that for this PO also needs to be overridden to a Fixed Asset account.

When the transaction is saved, and a Batch Edit Report is run, it shows the original Distribution accounts, not the override entries.

We reviewed POs issued in the recent past which also required Distribution Account overrides and noticed that in some cases the overrides persisted, and in others, they did not. It did not seem to matter whether the Items were Sales Inventory or Service Items. Sometimes the overrides stayed, sometimes not.

I have never encountered this before, so I am not aware of any settings that would account for this seemingly random occurrences.

RE: Distribution Account overrides revert to original accounts when the transactions are saved

Hi Mike,

Is it possible that the 'yes' button wasn't pressed when the following dialog came to screen?
