Creating a new record in General Journal using a PowerApp

Hi there...
 
I am trying to create a power app to use as a mobile device method for entering employee expenses into the general journal.
I have exposed the journal and I have a dynamics connector set up and working.
 
I have created the first test screens etc, to check for functionality and access etc.
The app can display all the current records in the journal in a gallery.
I can create an edit form to alter an existing record also. Using the gallery selection to populate the form, I can change the amount etc.
 
The next process is the form to enter a new record.
This is where the process fails. It appears to be related to the GUID which is required as the AccountId. I have tried using the GUID that relates to the user name and is shown in the gallery, however the error comes back with "Network Error when using Patch function. The requested operation is invalid".
 
The GUID by default however seems to be an autogenerated one as the "newform()" process by default does not allow entry into the field.
I believe there is sufficient permissions (if that was a possiblity) because I can edit and save an existing record.
