10.0.8 - Error: Account structure ... must match existing account structures for a ledger.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 624

Hi everyone,

I am familiar with the setup and tribulations of Account Structures.  The validation error of overlapping main accounts, or incorrect placement of blanks to create overlap inconsistencies, etc.

So, I hope this question rises above all that, this just seems odd and I cannot find any documentation to back it up.

I have three active Account Structures - Balance Sheet, Expense, Revenue.  They follow like this Fund (*) - MainAccount - Organization (*)

Now, I edit Expense and move Organization into the second slot like this Fund (*) - Organization (*) - MainAccount.  When I try to activate it, I get the following error:

"Account structure Expense, financial dimension MainAccount, at position 2, must match existing account structures for a ledger."

I feel like the error is telling me there are active ledgers with MainAccount in position two, and for some reason moving MainAccount to position three violates some undocumented rule?

Has anyone knowledge of why this won't work?

    Hello,

    I feel like this a system limitation. You can't have different structures active in the same legal entity with different sequence positions using the same financial dimensions. It will make reviewing for example voucher transactions difficult as some dimensions will show up in different sequence order depending on the main account.

    Can I ask what's the business requirement to have this set up this way?

    regards,
