Posting production journal entry - says the G/L account is blocked

Posted on by Community Member

I am wondering what the relationship is between a production journal entry and a G/L account. How can I "see" where this relationship is held/setup in NAV?

All the sudden we get an error when posting our production journal entries saying "Blocked must be No for G/L. ######" - I want to check how things are set up to solve this but I don't know where to look!

Two options:

1) Unblock GL Account

2) Use different G/L account . This is preferable, bacause usualy G/L accounts are blocked by finance, and there is some story why =)

Check the GL account no and remove the block as this may used for storing production cost or inventory value etc

RE: Posting production journal entry - says the G/L account is blocked

When you post something from the Production Journal, you are either consuming raw material (which creates Item Ledger Entries) or recording output (which posts Capacity Ledger Entries).

If you've got Automatic Cost Posting enabled in the Inventory Setup (and if I remember correctly, if you also have Expected Cost Posting to G/L enabled), NAV will also post entries to the G/L when you post Consumption and Outputs. Judging by the error you are receiving, one or more accounts that need to be hit when you post a consumption or output entry are blocked.

You can debug, but if that's not something you are comfortable doing, here's another way to find and fix the issue.

Depending on whether it's a Consumption entry you're posting, or an Output entry, various accounts will be hit. Here is how you can identify which G/L Accounts these are, and then you can verify which ones are blocked and correct the issue (by unblocking the account, or choosing a new account for this purpose).

In the Inventory Posting Setup pertaining to the Location and Inventory Posting Group in question, look at the accounts referenced in the following fields and ensure they are not blocked: Inventory Account, Inventory Account (Interim), WIP Account.

In the General Posting Setup for blank Gen. Bus. Posting Group, and the Gen. Prod. Posting Group pertaining to the Item in question, look at the accounts referenced in the following fields and ensure they are not blocked either: Direct Cost Applied account.

I hope this helps!

The error you receive means that you are trying to post your transaction to an account which is blocked - check the settings on the account card, the "Blocked" field must not be selected, otherwise you can't use this account. The relation to certain G/L account depends on the settings you made in the system. e.g. on the item card itself (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh173843(v=nav.90).aspx).
