Business Central blocking the way of posting with account type and balance account types

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 29
 Hi
When posting in a Purchase Journal and using this kind of combinations (see sceenshot) between accout type and balance account type, it fails with an error saying 
Error: You have one or more documents that must be posted....And this has NOTHING to do with the numer series or allow gaps which shows up in other blogs!
 
It seems like when you use vendor posting as balance type, leaving some account type blank and/or have line only containing G/L Accounts it fails.
 
Any suggestions, or is it a bug in BC. Have tested on BC 25.4 and BC 25.5
 
 
 
I have the same question (0)

    Hi,
     
    Which posting batch are you using? I just tried it in my environment and was able to post in the default batch.
     
    Thanks
    Ramesh

    Hello,
     
    I Do Agree with Ramesh Kumar.
     
    Even i don't find any error while Posting the Purchase Journal in Default Batch. i have tested the same in BC Version 25.1
     
     
    Is there any Changes or Customization in Purchase Journal?

    Hi Ramesh
    Thanks for your quick reply. Sorry I didn't give you all details.
    This is posted in a Purchace Journal. To reproduse the error, you only need to enter the 2 documents as shown below.
    Make sure all amount are entered with positive amounts and that the use of account type and balance account type is as shown.
     
    It will give you an error on doc. no. 2
     
    The strange thing is that it is possible to post them one by one but not together as shown below.

    Hi Jainam
     
    Please reproduse the batch as it isvshown. You are using signs in your amounts !
    All amounts are to be entered with positive amount. The use of account type and balance account type will post the correct signs.
    Even my journal gives me a preview of the entries. But still will not post.
     
    So please reproduse the journal exactly as shown in my latest post.

    Hi Jainam
     
    Which countrycode do you have on your environment. Maybe this is related to Norwegian functionality.
    I would like to create a Sandbox with your country version to see :-)

    Hi Jainam
     
    Thanks
     
    I reprodused the lines in a US environment. I managed to post the 2 documents (as long as all lines for all documents had document type = Invoice).
    It seems like the error occurs if you use more than one kind of document type in the journal.
    So if you add one more document in the same way i.e. a payment, it will fail again. (tried in a NO environement)
    Strange ? So until further I'll just explain this to my customer or see if other journals behave the same way :-)

    I think we can close this issue.
     
    Found out that by using the "force document.." on the Batch it workes fine.
    But if you turn this off, it gets a hickup in counting the documents correctly depending on the way you use Account Type and Balance Account Type.
