How to post to G/L accounts

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 130

Hi I have a question about the different ways to post to general ledger accounts.

If I want to post a general journal to a G/L account, the G/L account mustn't have any VAT Prod Posting groups or Bus Posting Groups specified.

However, if I want to post a sales invoice to a G/L account, the G/L account has to have all the above groups specified.

Is this correct? 

So if I sometimes want to use a G/L account in an invoice and sometimes in a journal I have to go in and add or remove the posting groups before I can proceed?

I have the same question (0)

    You can post a GL journal to any GL account, unless it's marked to not allow manual entry, or it's suspended.  Being assigned in a Posting profile (which I think you're referring to as a posting group) has no affect on ability to manually post to an account.

    Hi Crawlenj,

    Is your question about Dynamics 365 Business Central? The Product posting groups and business posting groups are terminology from Dynamics 365 BC.
