No price & Non inventory item -Distribution account(s) are missing or invalid

Can we enter and post a SOP Invoice (Debit Note) with line item enterred is non-inventory (free text input), and the quantity = 1 but price = zero.

For printing the document (Debit Note) so we modified SOP Short Invoice Form and we also want this SOP transaction to be posted, but do not wish this transaction reflected into GL, so there will be empty Distribution.

For example, we need to product a document, in which the item (non inventory) is like free gift to a customer, and we wish to print the Debit Note (zero amount) and Packing Slip/DO.

But if we do that, we will get error (Distribution account(s) are missing or invalid) if we post this transaction.

Please advise and many thanks in advance.

Hi William,

Yes, you can post a sales transaction for zero value. However there are certain posting accounts that must be assigned to SOP lines before any SOP invoice can post regardless of whether or not there are any distribution amounts to post.

I suggest you enter a test SOP invoice with your non inventoried item for zero sales value. Then highlight the SOP Line and click on the line expansion button to open the Sales Item Detail Enquiry Zoom window (click on the blue arrow beside the Item Number label).

In this window, click on the Distributions button. In here you can define the various distribution accounts that are required before the SOP invoice will post. From memory the first four accounts are required before the invoice will post.

Note that these can be different for each line on the SOP Invoice. Once they are assigned, you should be able to print your 'Invoice' and post.

These Line distributions for Non-Inventoried items can be set up to default from the Tools >> Setup >> Posting >> Posting Accounts window.

Best regards,
