Importing into Vendor Payment Journal with Account Type = Ledger

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by FlowwithoutW 60

Hi everyone,

I am trying to import bank transactions into our Vendor Payment Journal. 

The account type is supposed to be ledger, the offset account is supposed to be bank.

If I am trying to import this via the Data Migration Framework, I get the following error message:

Results. The account type Ledger is not valid
Results. Validations failed

However, after importing this to a dummy Vendor, I can manually change this to account type ledger.

As I have to import 100s of these records, I'd like to find away to import it correctly in the first place vs entering it manually.

Best,

Florian

    Hi Florian,

    You should be using General Journal instead for GL/Bank.   If you are importing Vendor payment then use Vendor payment journal. Don't know why you are trying to use Vendor payment for importing ledger/bank. If you are importing vendor payments, then use Vendor type with appropriate vendor account. That's how it is supposed to work.

    Hi Florian,

    In a vendor payment journal you usually post

    DR: Vendor account

    CR: Bank

    Was the original vendor payment journal already posted against a bridge account that you want to clear now?

    Assuming that this is the case.

    Please try importing your transactions in a GL journal.

    This journal can be used to clear the bridge posting.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    General journal should help this situation. You use vendor payment journal when you are working against vendor accounts(Dr) and bank/ledger(Cr) accounts. Posting transactions using vendor payment journal records balances both at subledger(vendor/customer/item) and ledger accounts.
