The main account does not exist

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6,449

Hello,

when I create "General journal" with "Account type" = "Customer" and chose a customer it gives me warning message "The main account "" does not exist".

It is happening for several customer accounts.

What and where exactly should I check?

Thanks.

    Hi Ali,

    Few questions-

    Is this MA can be used while creating manual entry in GL?

    your csv file is working with other MA or only this MA is giving error?

    Hi Ramit

    It is in the account structure and it is activated that was the first triage. Once I upload the file using CSV it still gives me this error!

    what seems to be the issue?

    Thanks

    Kind Regards

    Ali

    Hello 

    I am facing the same issue all the accounts appear on the main account and what is in the GL on the Excel matches  main detail from general ledger - main accounts. So not sure what the solution is?

    Hi,

    On top of what Ludwig suggested, can you also check if the account number specified in AR posting profile is available in COA structure and all COA structures are active.

    Hello Joni,

    Can you check your AR posting profiles and check whether a summary account for your customer has been Setup there? If so, is this account locked / inactive in your COA?

    There is a specific setup, but we can only do wild guesses, since all AX environments' setup are unique. I am sure someone with more financials knowledge will try to do those guesses at some point.

    However, I gave you the ultimate answer on how to typically find such problems and you should be consulting your developers to find it, that is the fastest way.

    Hi Vilmos,

    Is there any specific setup to check if I can't use the debugger?
