Vendor settlement posting transactions into the data migration account

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 344

Good day,

We migrated in AX2012 R3 open vendor invoices using the vendor invoice journal. The offset account was the suspense account which we created for data migration. The suspense account was also updated on the vendor posting profile during data migration.

We later updated the vendor posting profile with the vendor summary main accounts.

The issue now is when a vendor settlement is done for the migrated vendor invoices, the settlement transactions are hitting the suspense account. Is there a way to make sure that the settlement transaction are posted to the vendor summary account on the vendor posting profile.

Please note that the trial balance was uploaded separately during data migration that why we used the suspense account for both offset and posting profiles during subledger migrations. 

Kind regards,

Alexio Pfumai

    Hi Alexio,

    Is your question about AX 2012 R3 or Dynamics 365 Finance?

    Usually, I recommend using the normal balance account for customer and vendors and have the suspense account as offset account. When bringing in the opening balance, you can then use the suspension account instead of the customer/vendor balance account. In that case, the settlement postings don't have any impact.

    You can set up another posting profile for closing transactions, but the application is not aware which invoices were brought in via opening balances and which ones are new postings.

    I think the only option you have now is creating some manual correction postings.

    I recommend following a similar approach to what André mentioned for migrating balances. Additionally, when it comes to manual correction postings, you can consider utilizing allocations to assist you with the process.
