Account number for transaction type VAT does not exist, PO journal

When posting a PO in PL/Invoice journal, we get the above error.

I feel that I have looked at all possible settings, including the accounts being part of an account structure. The accounts are also of the posting type VAT.

Anyone had the same problem? I can see a lot of issues around the same error, but they seems to be related to VAT payments. This is posting an Invoice in a journal.

Hello Palle Gude,

Can you identify the VAT code that is used for your PO / invoice journal? Once you have this, please check under General ledger/Setup/Sales tax the ledger posting groups and the accounts specified there for your VAT code. There must be an account missing there.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Ludwig

We have gone through all of the VAT codes and the accounts for ledger posting groups, they all check out fine. All in an account structure, all of posting type VAT. But still doesn't work.

We had it all working, wanted to create a new setup to use for demo.

The original was working simultaneous wit the new setting, but now it has stopped working too.

A consistency check does not give anything.

Hello Palle Gude,

If you tax setup is complete and identical to other setups you previously used then the only thing I can think of are the accounts for automatic transactions in GL. Have you tried setting up an account for the sales tax posting type?

Best regards,

Ludwig

Was one of the first things. Suspicion is, as the working one stopped working over night, that it is an off-shore development deployed last night. We try to recompile over night, see what happens.

Thanks again for your valuable input, much appreciated. Will get back with results.

I'm getting the same thing with the VAT payments... but unlike you can't find any online references to any potential causes or resolution. If you have any links you could point me at it would be appreciated.

Hello Steve Howard,

It would be great if you could open a new thread for your issue and ideally provide some additional information of the error message you receive and at when the error was created exactly.

Many thanks,

Ludwig

Please make sure the accounts mapped for Sales Tax under Ledger posting group (For Sales Tax) are included in the Account Structure .
When I face the similar issue while posting Sales Order Invoice, I went back to Account Structures and included the new account that I've used in Ledger Posting for VAT. Then it worked for me.
