    Direct posting must be equal to yes
    you should know that some accounts in chart of accounts will not accept the posting any transactions directly so you have to enable the direct posting field in G/L account card
     
    search Chart of accounts > then open the particular account > then enable the direct posting field .
     
    then get into voucher and refresh and now u continue with the same account now u are enable the post the transactions directly.

    Praveen,

    I think you may be using the wrong G/L Account No. to post the entries to, we normally will turn off the direct posting to inventory, COGS and purchase account to avoid unnecessary posting by the users, instead accounting will create accrual accounts for the users to post the entries.

    Please check what type of account no. it is and contact accounting department if you don't have that information.

    You can always set Direct Posting to yes on the G/L account as other mentioned and do the posting but please confirm this with account department before you turn it on.

    This setting is there to prevent your sub ledgers (ie Payables / Receivables) from going out of balance with General Ledger.  Your business admin / accounting department should be consulted before turning this value on or off.

    On G/L Account Card there is a boolean for "Direct Posting". You need to activate it for making any journal entry.

    Open the G/L Account card and there will be a field called "Direct Posting". Set it to True
