Linking Procurement Category with ledger account

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 35

Hi Experts,

I am trying to assign ledger account codes to my procurement categories but when I am creating, I get this below error when saving. Can anyone shed some light on it and help me resolve this issue.

"Cannot create a record in Item, ledger posting (InventPosting). Account type: Purchase expenditure for expense ax 2012"

    Thank you very much. The problem occurred because I had already made a posting profile for the category in Accounts Payable>Setup>Vendors>Vendor Groups>Item posting

    Hello mzuraij,

    Can you please validate that you have the following parameter activated ...

    ... and that you see a column in the posting matrix that allows you selecting the procurement categories?

    If you already get stuck here and you miss e.g. the category column then there must be something wrong with your machine and it might be worthwhile having a talk with a developer. 

    Best regards,

    Hi mzuraij,

    From which screen you are linking ledger account with procurement category? Can you please share the screen print.

    Can you check following things:

    1. Check if your "Activate item relation category" option is enabled from Inventory management > Setup > Posting > Transaction Combination

    2. The account you are trying to link with procurement category, Is it added in your account structure in GL module?

    3 . Is your purchasing policy > Category accesspolicy rule is setup in Procurement and sourcing module?
