Error - Sales Line Disc. Account must have a value in General Posting Setup:

Posted on by Community member
When I cancel a Sales credit Memo from Posted Sales Credit Memo. I get the following error.

/Sales Line Disc. Account must have a value in General Posting Setup: Gen. Bus. Posting Group=LOCAL, Gen. Prod. Posting Group=CONSERV. It cannot be zero or empty./
 
The credit memo does not have any line discount.
 
The credit memo was created by cancelling an invoice.  and the original invoice against which the credit memo was created also does not have sales line discount.
 
I can continue by populating the line discount account in general posting setup. 
 
May be this is  something that Microsoft needs to fix.

    You can populate the account no in the setup, and then do the Posting Preview on the Credit Memo and check if any amounts are actually posted to the account. 
    If Yes- examine more detailed the Credit Memo lines (also with page Inspection to see all table fields (Ctrl+Alt+F1))
     
    If no amount is posted to this account - then could be something of a bug or version issue or some modification/extension/add-on that causes this. Would need to ask Your partner to examine that from the Code perspective.

    You should be aware that if you use a different price in a sales document then what is defined by the item or a price list Business Central will in some cases consider that to be a discount depending on how the sales document is entered.
    So maybe that is the situation in your case. 
    If you look at the lines details CTRL+ALT+F1 then you can check if any of the discount fields got a value.
