I was trying to process a prepayment to a vendor where the purchase is made to a GL account, and it kept giving me an error, I finally tracked it down to the fact that the Prod. Posting Group = '' was because of the GL Account. My question is should every account be selected with posting groups, or when is it needed at the GL account level? What is the downside of selecting those? Looking at Cronus, it appears only a few are selected with posting groups.
Thanks,
Kevin
Zhu and Gavin provided some great links.
The real answer is....it depends. If you are using GL Accounts in documents as Gavin shows and you have discounts, then the only place to get the GL account for the discount is from a General Posting Setup...that is if you are posting discounts separately.
If you are using any GL account in a document, there are times when the system checks for the Product and Business posting groups even though they will not be used.
I agree with Gavin, assign to income statement accounts and you should be good.
Hi,
We mostly assign posting groups to expense and income GL codes. Basically those codes you are likely to use in normal transactions. i.e. invoices and credits.
This blog I wrote goes into more detail on the subject.
I hope this helps.
Thanks
Gavin
