Posted on by Carlusha99

When i want to settle customer posts either through Customer collect settle open transactions or through a general journal i got the following error message.

"Account number for transaction type Sales Tax does noet exist".

I checked the ledger and customer posting profiles, The details of Sales Order and Invoice behind the open transactions, the Sales groups and Sales codes........

What can it be besides above mentioned?

Greetings

Carl

Found the settlement accounts are missing in the ledger posting setup. After entering the respective account, Voila, the error(s) disappeared!!!

Corrective actions required for IMPROPER error messages from system. It should guide the user to pin point the issue location.

When you're confident with all your setup.

mine was fixed when:
>i go to sales tax group set up
>select sales tax group with error
>recalculate tax > unposted transactions that use the selected tax groups.

Hi,

i already faced the same problem in posing sales order invoice, after checking the posting profile for the Sales Tax, you need to make sure that the Sales Tax ledger Accounts ( Receivable & Payable ) configured in the account structure.

After that it will be posted without any issue .

Thanks,

Amjad

Please make sure the accounts mapped for Sales Tax under Ledger posting group (For Sales Tax) are included in the Account Structure .
When I face the similar issue while posting Sales Order Invoice, I went back to Account Structures and included the new GL account that I've used in Ledger Posting for VAT. Then it worked for me.

Check the STC number at the time of entry. it is having blank. that's why it is showing error.

Having same problem. I also include the sales tax accounts in structure but still ledger accounts are missing during posting. Applies to both PO and Sales Invoice.

Hi Elenko,

You mean that you included all sales tax accounts into a new account structure, right?

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Ludwig!

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, i've checked all the solutions suggested.

But i kind of settled the problem myself.

The problem: when trying to post a general journal i got a massage "Account number for transaction type Sales Tax does not exist".

I got the same massage when trying to invoice a purchase order.

Posting profile for Sales tax in GL was properly set up and default main account in Accounts for automatic transaction was alredy added. But neither of it helped.

Solution: i configured account structures for all the main accounts from the Sales tax posting profile. In my situation it helped.
