This error message comes up after I have posted a Billing batch from PA and the batch ends up stuck in Receivables. No idea why this is happening, can anyone help?

Re: This distribution type is missing or invalid

"The selected distribution type is invalid for this document type." is coming up when we try to assign INV to an Inventory account. The person that normally does this certain billing process is out and the backup is not able to do it. This is creating an invoice for a serialized machine. From what I can tell the item setup is correct and the sale is not linked to a PO or anything. Suggestions? I can't seem to find where a distribution type would be restricted from a document type.

Re: This distribution type is missing or invalid

Distribution Types are those codes found in the automatically generated transactions that seem to tell you what type of account entry is being posted. For example: RECV means a receivable entry in RM. The codes MUST be predefined and each code refers to some field or collection of fields on the transaction face.

Typically, distribution windows have a Delete Distributions button that deletes any entries and re-creates the distribution automatically. If you have made changes, the changes will be removed but a standard and postable transaction will result. If you need to make corrections again, avoid changing the distribution codes or changing the relationship between the codes and the transactions.

Our book Confessions of a Dynamics GP Consultant lists the distributrion codes for many modules but PA is not one of them.
