"Gen. Prod. Posting Group must have a value in G/L Account..."

Posted on by john.ellis 3,518

Hi:

In the Customer Posting Groups window, I'm trying to place an account within the "Service Charge Acct." field.

I have placed a value within the "Gen. Prod. Posting Group" and "Gen Bus. Posting Group" fields within the account itself in the Chart of Accounts.

Also, I have placed this account within the General Posting Setup's "Sales Account" field.

So, why in the world am I still getting the error message "Gen. Prod. Posting Group must have a value in G/L Account..." within the Customer Posting Groups window?  Have I not covered all contingencies?

Thanks!

John

    Has some specific validation:

    Validate("Service Charge Acc.");

               end;

               trigger OnValidate()

               begin

                   if "View All Accounts on Lookup" then

                       GLAccountCategoryMgt.CheckGLAccountWithoutCategory("Service Charge Acc.", true, true)

                   else

                       GLAccountCategoryMgt.CheckGLAccount(

                         "Service Charge Acc.", true, true, GLAccountCategory."Account Category"::Income, GLAccountCategoryMgt.GetIncomeService);

               end;

    I’d check the account category and turn off the view all accounts lookup feature

    Below is the answer.  I needed to go into the G/L account for the Customer Posting Group and fill in the three fields shown below.
