Hello,
I'm trying to post batches containing SOP invoices that intentionally have a total amount of zero. A non-inventory item with a quantity of one and a price of zero is used for these invoices. (These invoices correspond to transactions in a separate accounting system that have a total amount of zero.)
The "Post Through General Ledger Files" configuration option is enabled, with a journal entry created per transaction.
The invoices are created using the GP Web Services, without any errors being given by GP.
While posting such a batch, the "SOP Posting Journal" printout shows the distributions for the sales invoice, with the expected zero amounts.
But then the subsequent "General Posting Journal" printout lists no accounts, and instead shows "Account entry is incomplete.", along with "Total Distributions: 0".
A new "SLSTE"-prefixed "General Entry" batch is shown in the "Master Posting" window, having a status of "Transaction Error - Edit Required".
Is there any way to post these SOP invoices that have a total amount of zero?
Thanks!

Hi Mahmoud,
Thanks for your help with this.
Removing the zero-amount distributions being added by the automated process creating these invoices did allow them to post.
Hello there,
I have occasionally considered using the SOP invoices for some of our clients (specifically NGOs), they receive items as donations and give them away with a zero price.
In both scenarios (either inventory or non-inventory items), a sales invoice is posted with zero price, which implies that the part of distribution related to (Sales, AR) doesn't exist at all. For an inventory item, a journal entry of (IV, COGS) is generated while no journal is generated for a non-inventory item
Back to your case specifically, could you take one of these integrated transactions as a sample, and check whether any distribution exist for them ? To do so, open the sales transaction entry window and fill in the document number then click on "Distribution" ? Is there any distribution lines ? try to click the default button and see what happens.
Finally, you may check the "edit list" report on the transaction or batch level of the sales transaction entry and see what errors it prints out.
