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

(7) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 16
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.

    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?

    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

    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.

    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.

    Just wondering if anyone has an answer to the above question.  I am getting the same error.  It seems to only be when posting Resources with no impact on the GL only impacting the Job

    I believe that is exactly what has happened to me. I have posted Sales Invoices with currency GBP before starting using a blank currently, which represents GBP the Local Currency.
     
    How can I get rid of the error? I don't suppose that raising a Credit Memo for that invoice would solve the problem.

    Hi,
     
    To start analyze the issue, can you do a preview posting and paste all the ledger entries that are created here. That might helps us understand the issue. If you are still not able to solve it.
     
    Also if you see any G/L entry. I want you to include Transaction No., field as well.
     
    Regards,
    Dhiren.

    I think it's better to let the developers debug it. This way, you can determine whether the problem is with the data or the code.
     
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    When I do Preview Posting, the message comes up straightaway and nothing is displayed in the preview screen.

    Hi,
     
    If you are not able to do preview posting, its best idea to debug the case with the help of developer. You will find the issue.
