No Financial Dimension validation happening on PO-confirmation / Product Receipt Posting

Dear All,

Hope someone can help me with the following: I'm setting up a new Legal Entity/AreaID, and did all the basics such as (but not limited to):

Defined CoA / Main Accounts
Defined Financial Dimensions
Created Account Structures (in which we defined mandatory/allow blank per main account)
Link to CoA in Ledger-setup
Link to Account Structure in Ledger-setup

I've now created a Purchase Order, and didn't fill in 1 mandatory financial dimension (FinDim: Vendor) on purpose, on Line-level .

I would expect a famous error message: /Blank is not allowed for Vendor for the combination. You must select a value in the Vendor field in combination with the following dimension values that are valid.../

But instead, the Confirmation is happening without any error/warning-message.
And when trying to post the Product Receipt, I get a generic error-message: /An error occurred during update. Posting Purchase Order xxx has been canceled./

Question: Is there some setup missing, that results in not doing the Financial Dimension-validation with the Account Structure(s) during PO Confirmation and Product Receipt-posting?

I have the same question (0)

Hi,

You have workflow, you can check this feature "Purchase order workflow submission and approval performance enhancement", it will solve your issue.

If in case you have no workflow, you can have workflow and then auto approved, by this way your issue can be mitigated.

Hi ,

In d365 financial dimension validation with account stcrture is during financial posting. Since confirmation doesn't post any financial entry so it will not validate.

Thanks

Hi all,

Several responses are stating that "validation only happen during GL-posting".
That is correct, and that's why I also try to post my Product Receipt, which does trigger a GL-posting.
Even then, no detailed error is showing.

Somehow, system is not providing detailed validation-checks from the active account structures.
Is there some other relevant setup missing?
