"New Purchase Invoice" error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by NYLFX 60

Greetings,

I am a fairly new user of MS Dynamics 2013. At the office today, we received an alert message when "releasing" a new Purchase Invoice that stated "Tax Group Code must have a value in Purchase Line: Document Type=Invoice, Document No.=xxxx, Line No.=xxxxx. It cannot be zero or empty."

It seems to be requiring that, within the lines, a value must be set for "Tax Group Code" selection that was originally hidden until the column was added to the view.

This has not happened before today.

Can an expert please tell me if this a required input and if not, where it can be enabled/disabled?

Is it a possibility that setting up new Responsibility Centers would cause this? (This is the only change that has been made recently that we suspect might cause this).

Thanks,

Mike

    Generally Tax Group Code copied from G/LAccount/Item/Resource based on what you have entered in Purchase Line.

    Can you check on particular card whether Tax Group Code is entered?

    Mohana,

    Thank you for your response. I think you pointed me in the right direction. I will try to find out more tomorrow and reply back.

    Could a checked "auto insert default" field in the Gen. Business Posting Groups be the cause of this?

     

     

    Thanks,

    I don't see any issue with auto insert default field

    Mohana,

    I think we have resolved this issue. For some reason, when releasing new invoices, a user is prompted to enter a Tax Group Code in the Purchase Card's Line Fast Tab as if it's a required field. We have some initial item cards set up and a few of them had Tax Group Codes entered. By deleting the Tax Group Code entries from these item cards, we were able to release invoices.

    This makes no sense to me as to why the invoices were dependent on these item cards: there is no established relationship between the two. Not one of the item cards had vendors associated with them (Replenishment Fast Tab: Vendor ID) and this problem has occurred on every new invoice.

    To me, an ideal scenario would be to have a one-to-many relationship between the vendor and the item using the primary key of the vendor table as the foreign key in the item table (possibly a many-to-many for more generic items that can be supplied by many vendors). Also, I would think that a purchase invoice, as well as a customer order type document would be treated as transactional data between two or more tables.

    Does MS Dynamics Nav handle these relationships in a similar fashion?

    Thanks for your assistance,

    Mike
