Accounts for automatic transactions - where to add Cost Center?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hello

We have set up an account for tolerable difference. However, when the system attempts to automatically post the adjustment, it gives an error "You must select a value in the PCostCenter field in combination with the following dimensions values that are valid". Where do I set the cost centre for the tolerable difference default account? I can only see where to set the account.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Belix,

    A temporary solution / workaround for this problem is to go to the chart of account, select the account and set the PCostCenter financial dimension to a fixed value that you specify. Then you should be able to post the transaction.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Belix,

    What type of transaction(s) are you posting and what drives the value of the PCostCenter? If the account always requires the same value, you can go for the suggestion provided by Ludwig.

    Thank you for the replies.

    When I settle vendor payments, and there is a slight difference between payment and invoice, the difference is supposed to post to the tolerable difference account automatically, and settle the invoice. However, it is giving the error and I'm having to manually post an adjustment entry.

    It would be safe to have a set cost centre account, as it is not a big deal given the small amounts involved.

    I see no place in the chart of account to set a default cost centre, but I'll see if set it up in account structures.

    Hello Belix,

    Another option is excluding those automatic accounts from the requirement to have a cost center posted.

    Later on you can then allocate the amounts posted on those accounts to the various cost centers that you have.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Belix,

    If you want to set a fixed dimension value, then you can use the suggestion from Ludwig. To be able to see the option, you need to go to the Main accounts form. Locate the section for Legal entity overrides.

    Then:

    1) Create a record for the current legal entity

    2) Click the Default dimensions button to be able to specify a fixed value.
