Receivings transaction entry PURCH distribution missing

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by KeithV 15

Hi Everyone,

When a receipt is created and I try and post, I get the following message.

"A distribution account for this transaction is missing. You can save this transaction with the error, but you can't post it"

So then I checked under Distributions and found that the account for PURCH is blank.

This is a Sales Inventory item so I verified that the "Inventory Account" on the item card had the account number.

I also checked the master posting accounts under inventory and purchasing.

I am at a loss on why the field isn't populating. This is happening for all sales inventory items.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Keith,

    I was going back through some threads that did not have a response, and I wanted to see if you were able to get assistance with this issue. If so can you please provided the solution for the community. If you are still working through this issue, do you have any third-parties or customizations in place? If so are you able to disable them and then test to see if the purch account is still defaulting in as blank? If so you can try to reenable them one at a time to see if there is a code intercept that could be causing what you are seeing. If you still have an issue please open a support case so that we can assist you further with this to include running some traces of the issue to try to determine what could be causing this issue.

    I hope this helps.
