Hi,

I'm having this error when posting Purchase Invoice. May I know what does it do?

I have checked that my General Journal do not have any entries.

It's strange to me that the error said it requires me to post a negative entry.

    Josh,

    Can you send a pic of the entire General Journal so we can see the Account Type/No. and Bal. Type and No.

    Hi Steve,

    There is nothing posted related to the error message in my General Journal.

    The error happens in the Purchase Order.

    Hi Steve,

    We figure out that the prepayment have negative amounts, hence the error.

    Thanks for your help.
