Received this error on lookup for field 'Method of payment' in 'General ledger->Journal entries->General journals':

Does anyone know if there is a fix for this or this is known issue?

    Hi, I just encountered this issue.  The problem is that the Method of Payment and Payment Specification is only applicable to Account type of Vendor or Customer.  If you have any other account types, you'll get the insufficient metadata error message.

    Still not found a solution for this.

    Hello Adrian,

    did you find a solution for this error? I am facing the same issue on a custom form. The lookup worked fine since yesterday, suddenly it stopped working.

    No customizations.  Build doesn't help.
