Error message on vendor invoice workflow

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by CD-04091158-0 5
Hi everyone,
 
I'm working on microsoft dynamics 365.
I am implementing the Purchase to Pay workflow.
I already did the workflow of purchase requisition (PR) approval.
Same thing for the purchase order (PO) workflow approval.
I am now on the vendor invoice workflow approval.
When the invoice come in the system, it's linked to the PO thanks to the PO number.
On the PO I have financial dimensions such as Cost center number and main account.
But when the workflow start, there is an error message that I can't manage.
Of course I am on the sandbox.

Here is the error message : One or more accounting distribution is missing a ledger account or contains a ledger account that is not valid. Use the accounting distribution form or the Posting profile to update the ledger account.
 
Thank to everyone that can help

    Hi Charles,
     
    From the purchase order, you can open the Account distribution form. Can you check if there is a ledger account missing on one of the lines? In that case, you can check for missing posting setup (link main accounts with posting types).

    Hi,
    You are likely missing a Ledger Account setup. Go to the form "View distributions" and try to find the missing one. And you can also check the old thread for reference.
    One or more accounting distribution is missing a ledger account or contains a ledger account that is not valid (dynamics.com)
    Best Regards,
    Hana

    Hi,
    There has been a similar discussion on the forums before, and you can refer to these old threads:
    Please check if posting profiles are defined or the account is correctly defined on account structures.
    Best regards,
    Kevin

    Remember not only main account but also financial dimension values must be available in the dstribution form
