Cannot Preview Posting of a Sales Invoice

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by john.ellis 3,510

Hi:

I'm not being allowed to preview the posting of a sales invoice, because I'm being told that there is an issue with the header.

Since this company processes in Canadian Dollars, I'm guessing that it's an issue with VAT posting groups not being set up.

So, I set up both posting groups by revealing what I believe is the Sales VAT account.

But, I'm not being allowed to enter the new VAT Bus. Posting Group on the invoice.  The message that I receive says "Validating field VAT Bus. Posting Group revealed a problem in field Status."

Now, what?

Thanks!

John

    Hi Steven:

    It's a long story.  But, I cannot pull up the environment right now for creating a pic.

    The long and the short of it is that the "VAT Bus. Posting Group" field produces a rex "X" and states "Validating field VAT Bus. Posting Group revealed a problem in field Status."

    John,

    I would go to General Ledger Setup and then choose VAT Bus. Posting Group and related VAT Posting Setup to make sure you have setup all the tables and fields.

    Hi Steve:

    As far as I know, I have set these up in the General Ledger Setup window.

    But, I get the error shown below saying that account number 13100 does not exist.  I cannot find the window for replacing this account number with one that does exist.

    Where should I check?

    Thanks!

    John,

    Check these places:

    1. Customer Posting Group

    2. General Posting Setup with the combination of Gen. Business Posting Group and Gen. Product Posting Group for Item being sold.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Thanks, Steven!  Sure enough, I needed to change the Receivables Account of the Customer Posting Groups!
