    Hi, DynamicsAXExplorer,

    If the posting account setup is correct, then also check if the main account is part of an active account structure for this legal entity.

    I didnt understand that. How to check if main account is part of an active account structure? Which main account are you referring to?

    Hi Andre,

    We had main account xxxx and i can see its included in the active account structure. Can you tell me what else i should check for this error? Thanks.

    Hi Andre,

    I found the issue. I defined the posting in Category Level. And for the category that i am using for this invoice journal, i didnt have any account setup for Cost Accounts > WIP-Cost Value. I assigned a value there and the error is gone.

    Below are the steps i did to resolve this error:

    1. As i defined all my posting at category level - I Navigated to  Project Management and Accounting > Setup > Categories > Project Categories > Selected the category that i used in Invoice Journal > Expanded Cost Accounts Tab > Added Account for WIP-Cost Value. Then i did the posting on Invoice Journal and it didnt throw any error and it got posted.

    Thanks for your help.
