Posting blank value for mandatory financial dimension

Hi, We have an account structure where cost centre is mandatory financial dimension for all the main accounts and blank values are not allowed.

But sometimes, few entries got posted without cost centre. We are not receiving any error. We don't use any advanced rules.

Could this be a configuration issue?

TIA

What is the posting type of those transactions?

If revaluation transactions, then it may be possible not to have dimension

Posting blank value for mandatory financial dimension

There are numerous processes within F&O that do NOT adhere to the account structure for ensuring that the dimension combinations are valid or don't allow blanks. So, yes it's possible for this to happen, even when your account structure configuration is correct.

Here are some examples of where the account structure is not validated to ensure the combinations of value are permitted:

GL Year end close - We don't validate the account structure for closing or opening balances because the account structure could change through out the year. We still must move all balances forward or close to RE during the YEC process.

AR/AP/GL foreign currency revaluation - Just as with YEC, the account structure could change in between when the open invoice or open payment was posted, and when it's being revalued. Because we always post to the same AR/AP ledger or GL ledger account during revaluation, we don't validate against the account structure.

Reversals - any time you reverse a transaction, we don't validate the account structure for the reversing accounting entry. Again, this is because it could have changed in between the time of posting and reversal, and we always reverse the original ledger accounts.

So if at any time before the account structures were in place a blank was permitted, it will continue to allow that blank dimension value to post in the above situations.
