Error: account structure xx, for the combination xx, is not valid for ledger xx

Posted on by 1,351

Hello,

I am getting this error message you can see in the screenshot. I am not trying to post anything against the main account on the error. As you can also see the main account that is intended to be used is different. On the debit side of the journals I have a vendor.

As you can see the main account on the error doesn't even exist:

Both accounts I'm using on the journal, the expense account and the summary account for the vendor group are part of an active account structure and abide to the rules of it.

    Today I got the same error message in AX 2012 R3.
     
    I checked the main account and in the field "Select the level of main account to display"  it was set to Companies
    Additionally, in the Financial Dimension quick tab ,we have a financial dimension with "Fixed Value".
     
     
    However, when I created the payment proposal, the financial dimension fixed to the main account was missing in the "Offset account" field. It was just a combination of Main account and Intercompany key, but without the consolidation account. 
     
     
     
    To solve this problem, make sure that you add a Default offset account type and Default offset account whyn you create the payment proposal. 
     
    • Default offset account type: Ledger
    • Default offset account: the particular account
     
    For some reason AX adds the financial dimension to the line and then the journal can be posted.

    Hi CapsLock,

    Great to hear that you got it fixed.

    Would be great if you could verify the answers.

    Many thanks,

    Ludwig

    Hi,

    Problem solved. There was an account defined against "Account for automatic transactions > rounding differences" that didn't exist in the Chart of accounts. I changed it to an existing one and problem solved. Thank you all for your input!

    Hello CapsLock

    A possible explanation for where that 618160 account comes from:

    - in Contoso data, it is the "Rounding Difference" account

    If you trace the following path, here's where you would see it in a Contoso environment:

    - GL > Posting setup > Accounts for automatic transactions

    • and it's the default account for these Posting Types:
      • Penny difference in reporting currency
      • Penny difference in accounting currency
      • Order invoice rounding
      • Vendor invoice rounding-off

    Are you live yet, or just testing the setup?

    Hi Andre,

    There was tax involved but the account that shows on the error doesn't even exist within my chart of accounts. Also, see my response to Ludwig for results when I changed the vendor.

    Thanks to you both!

    Hi Ludwig,

    Those 4 lines were the only ones and they were not intercompany customers. BUT, as I couldn't post the journal like that and it was a test, I changed the vendor for an intercompany vendor (linked to a different vendor group and posting profile) and I could post it. So it may be related to that but still don't get it because the account that shows in the error is not related to the vendor group intercompany, actually as you can see it doesn't even exist in the chart of accounts.

    Hi CapsLock,

    In addition: Do you have the Sales Tax and Sales Tax group for Item filled on the journal? In that case, the account might be related to Sales Tax.

    Hi,

    Do you have more than those 4 lines in the journal?

    Are these intercompany transactions?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
