    Hello Ayaz butt,

    Can you check under inventory - Setup - posting - posting - purchase tab whether a purchase discount account is setup? If it is missing try entering one before re-trying to post the invoice.

    If this does not work, please check the automatic posting accounts in GL. If discounts are setup at the PO header level, accounts from GL-setup-posting-account for automatic transactions are used. Try to setup the purchase, discount account before posting.

    Hope this helps.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hello Ayaz,

    You have setup an account for your purchase discounts in your Chart of accounts, right? And has this been linked to the "purchase, discount" posting type in the accounts for automatic Transactions in GL? I believe this Setup should fix the issue. If it does not then it would be great if you could post some screenprints of your PO and error message and possibly provide some additional information.

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Ludwig

    Dear Ludwig,

    Sounds like there is a missing Item/Vendor relation in the setup in the posting profile (in Inventory... Posting) ? Or if setup then for the main account you aim at being posting on then ensure it's part of Account structure active for the legal entity.

    Possibly try setup in GL > Posting Setup > Accounts for automatic transactions a line for posting type Vendor invoice discount.

    When on the purchase line, you select Financials > Distribute amounts. Do you see a separate line for the discount and linked main account?

    Hi Ayaz

    I think, you need to show some screen dumps of your data ?  e.g. setup in the two posting types, the Item Group of the items behaving incorrect and vendor /vendor Group on purchases.

    Anyway what do you mean with "linked to the main account"?

    Regards

    please check the print screen and guide me accordingly, and I am trying to ask you if the purchase discount account is not linked with the main account then how can I linked purchased discount account with the main account. but I think its already linked but if you see in financials > distribution amounts> if I select the discount tab there is no ledger account.

    Hi Ayaz

    I'm sorry, but I can't see your screendumps. Only a large white area for above post (actually also another smaller white area some posts above).

    So here some more possibly to guide in direction for resolution:

    Is setup in posting type screen for purchase totally the same as for the purchase, discount? There could be new main accounts not part of active account structure for legal entity.

    If you delete the setup in purchase, discount - are you then able to post the purchase order?

    Have you setup posting for "Automatic transactions" as I wrote earlier?

    Regards

    Daxer
