Posted on by TP-12111334-0

Is there a way to amend the G/L code associated to a specific line on a sales order like we could do on our previous system?

Thanks!

Hi

What can't you do? Why do you say it doesn't allow you? Is it a sales order that's already been sent or invoiced? Please provide more information.

Hi @TP-12111334-0,

I don't think it's a good idea to change the G/L code.

BR,

Maybe this will help clarify things.

In Business Central, Sales Order Lines post to G/L accounts based on the Sales Posting Group or Item Posting Group, not directly via a G/L code field.

Options if you need per-line G/L control:

1. Use G/L Account as the line type:

Change the Type field to G/L Account on that sales line.

Then you can choose any G/L Account manually for that line.

2. For items/resources, the G/L account is controlled by setup (Sales Posting Group). If you need flexibility per line, consider:

Customization

Or use General Journal for such specific postings instead.

As far as I know, this was not possible in the past.
You can manually modify the posting group, although this is not recommended.

Or you can try the following new feature:

Business Central 2023 wave 2 (BC23): Use different general ledger accounts for payables, receivables (Change default customer/vendor posting group)

Hope this helps.

Can you please help us understand when you amend GL code associated specific line. Do you mean while creating sales order? As GL entries are associated with posting group and its not good ideal to change setup

Thanks

Ramesh
