General Journal Gen Posting Type for customer error

Hello Anita,

Your Revenue GL is under 'Bal Account No.'. You should fill in the necessary details on the 'Bal.' posting fields.

As mentioned in my first post, the posting fields should be blank for Customer, Vendor and Bank Account.

The posting fields are 'Gen Posting Type', 'Gen Bus Posting Group', 'Gen Prod Posting Group', 'VAT Bus Posting Group', 'VAT Prod Posting Group'.

If you fill in the 'Bal.' posting fields, you can see that your sales line will be posted with Tax.

It is not recommended to direct post to tax GL account unless you plan to do tax report reconciliation manually.

Hi, The same is true for the W1 version. If you want to post the amount directly to the tax account, you can enable the option below and then post it directly from the General Journal.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

The sales tax engine doesn't work in journals, only in sales/purchase documents. At least that's how it works in the NA localizations.

This is to create a sales tax entry without using the invoice screen. Sales journal also gives the exact same errror

Hello Anita,

There is no need to fill in Gen Posting Type, Gen. Bus. Posting Group and Gen. Prod. Posting Group for Customer, Vendor, Bank and Fixed Assets journal line.

Hi, this is standard behavior.

This error will occur for Customer, Vendor, Bank Account, and Employee

I don't know what you want to do. If it's sales, you can just use Sales Journal.

Hope this can give you some hints.

Thanks.
