cannot insert value nul into column "debitamt"

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

While doing data entry in GP2010 we have observed the following error in GP2010:

 

Due to some error in unit cost in the inventory and sales module, the debit or credit amounts exceeded trillion figures and When we post these transaction into GL account, GP2010 does not post that entry and show ‘cannot inset value nul into column “DEBITAMT” or “CREDITAMT”,

 

However when we post the same entry in some other month, the same has been posted into the same account but in different month. In this way we have posted our all that transactions into GP by using other months.

 

Apparently, it seems that debit and credit column for GL account have some length limitation for the period and when transaction in that account exceeded this limit, GP2010 does not allow further entry in that period.

 

Now, on closing financial year in GL, this problem again appears which restrain us from closing.

 

One way is we go through the whole GL and identify the GL accounts which does not allow entry in June 2012 because of the reason mentioned above and then create other accounts and transfer the whole balance to that new account and then try to close, which is time consuming exercise.

 

Please help  on the above behavior of GP2010 and how to increase that limitation or how to resolve this issue.

    Hi,

    When you are closing the year - what error message do you get?

    I don't believe there is a limitation based on the finanial period. Is this a multicurrency transaction?

    How is the data being entered in GP - manually, or integrated in some way. If integrated...what are you using to integrate?

    Hi Ian,

    We are using Purchase, Inventory and sales modules, for all the transactions in these modules a batch is created in Financial Module for posting to GL, after due approval these are posted to GL.

    We have encounter this error when one of our batch for sales and for inventory get some wrong data entry for unit rates and resulting from this a batch was created and posted in GL for these transactions. When we trying to correct these transactions we received 'cannot insert value null into column debitamt' or 'cannot insert value nul into column creditamt'.

    On this we stop posting to GL from sales and inventory modules and then correct these by passing adjusting entries in these module without posting to GL. after correcting these modules, we then pass GJ manually into GL to correct these entries but in some other months as in the month of original entry, we receive the cannot insert value error.

    Hi Farukh,

    This is one of those issues where I would need to see the bahaviour in your system first hand. Or you can try and describe in detail exactly the transactions entered etc. - but it wold have to be very detailsd, each step and each piece of data entered. If you want, I can take a look, but you will need to provide me with remote access.

    Ian.
