Purchase Order issue with Vendor Item and G/L Code - Navision 2016?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by J5D 70

Hi,

So I have a problem figuring out the best way to create a Purchase Order using a specific G/L Code for a an array of Vendor Items. Is this possible to do in Navision 2016?

Screenshot below shows;

What I want to know is whether I am able to set up specific items which lead to a G/L Account instead of choosing the G/L Account manually everytime as well as typing in the description everytime? as this is very long winded.

The ideal position would be to create a list of Vendor Items which point to specific G/L Accounts including a Department Code

I'd appreciate your help on this.

    Hi Robertas,

    Thanks for your rapid reply, i'm going to sound daft but I've just checked that specific G/L account card and all the posting fields such as Gen.Posting Type, Gen Bus. Posting Group, Gen Prod Posting Group, VAT Bus. Posting Group, VAT Prod. Posting Group - all remain blank and un-assigned.

    But have changed this on the G/L Account card and bingo! it's done the trick and now working. Hopefully this does not affect anything else being posted under that G/L Account Code, but really appreciate your help Robertas 'you genius!'

    Thank you so much

    Hi,

    check that GL codes you're using do have Gen. Prod. Posting Group and VAT Prod. Posting Group assigned on the GL Account Card.

    Hi Robertas,

    Many thanks for your reply and your answer its really appreciated! Upon following your instructions I've encountered another error 'just my luck'.

    The error is: The VAT Posting Setup does not exist. Identification fields and values: VAT Bus. Posting Group='DOMESTIC', VAT Prod. Posting Group="

    This error popped up when creating a Purchase Order, any ideas on this? I will also create a new post just in case you won't know the best way to tackle this.

    But thanks again!

    Hi,

    you can create 'Standard Purchase Code' entry, where each code can contain many GL Codes (with descriptions and quantities, if required). The you go to the Vendor Card, click on 'Std. Vend. Purchase Codes' and assign this code to the vendor (you can assign multiple codes to a vendor, and one code to multiple vendors - your choice).

    Then , when creating the Purchase Order, click 'Get Std. Vend. Purchase Codes' and select this purchase code. System will instead automatically fill in the Purchase Order lines with the GLs that you've assigned to this purchase code.

    Hope that helps.

    Robertas
