Transaction will cause G/L entries to be inconsistent on Job Journal

Posted on by 2
I'm running into an issue with the Job Journal for the last month or two of not being able to post anything, where it did previously. When I try to Preview Posting, I get this warning at the top of the page: /The transaction will cause G/L entries to be inconsistent. Typical causes for this are mismatched amounts, including amounts in additional currencies, and posting dates./
 
The transaction entries listed are only 1 Job Ledger Entry and Res. Ledger Entry. I've tried different jobs and resources, tried keeping the transaction to the minimum set of fields, and tried posting an Item instead of a Resource, all to no avail.
 
It works in a default sandbox, so I don't think it's a code issue, more likely a configuration I messed up somewhere. I've checked the Job and Resource setups, all the posting and config I could identify as related. The only hint of a possibly related issue is that I did set up a Currency at one point recently but have since removed it as we only need the default currency. It could be related to that, but I have no idea where to look to track this down. Nothing is in the error logs, since it can't post.
 
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

    I get the same Message when I try Preview Posting on an Assembly Order. There are no customizations in the database. Posting is possible afterwards.

    I doubt it has anything to do with the general posting setup because then you would most likely get an error of a missing G/L Account no. somewhere.
    Have you had a developer try to debug what is going on?
    That would be my next step here.

    Inge M. Bruvik, it's possible something was posted with a currency somewhere while I had that set, but I don't see any currency settings on any of the jobs or resources. In fact, the resources don't offer a choice, and the job doesn't allow you to change the currency on a job with existing postings.

    I just tried it all again with a new minimal job, with one job planning line, and a new minimal resource. Same error. My feeling is that it's related to the Gen. Prod. Posting Group setup, though I have tried to ensure it's aligned with the account pattern in the sandbox. I also just tested with a new Gen. Prod Posting Group, same error, so it's seeming less likely that this is the problem.
     
    Other ideas where to look?
     
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Is it a possibility that you have registered your LCY as a currency and used that on some of the entites involved in your postings?
