Posted on by 534

Dear Experts,

                      i m facing a problem in D365, our user has uploaded the data from Data Management and it consist of 4000+ lines.. in every entity, invoice journal is appearing this error "Employee to approve the line is not specified.,  even all users have relation and they have access on journals.

                     but still facing the same issue, even when i create new journal and do simulate posting then getting no error, but all invoice journals which are uploaded are appearing with same error.

                     kindly tell me the easiest way to resolve this error, adding employee in approved by field is a long process because data consist 4000+ lines.

                    thanks in advance

Regards

    The error occurs when a client is added to AX yet isn't planned to a Worker ID. The missing affiliation then, at that point, makes AX not be able to populate the Approved by field during receipt passage.

    To determine this issue, explore to System organization >> Common >> Users >> Users, and select the UserID record of the client encountering the mistake. Click the 'Relations' button on the Action sheet.

    Click the 'New' button on the Action sheet piece of the User relations structure to add another record. To finish the relationship of the User ID to an individual record in AX, pick the suitable individual from the 'Individual' drop-down list, the proper AX client from the 'Client ID:' drop-down list, and enter the Effective date.

    Presently the new client can enter and approve solicitations without mistake.

    The above arrangement may be useful to you. I take care of business for SSM Health and we had login issues with mychart ssm login entrance.

    Hi Yasir Shahzad ,

    One possible work around could be exporting Invoice journal lines into an excel and Add "Approved by" field and import through Excel-AddIn. Updating 4000 rows shouldn't take longer.

    Vendor invoice journal line > Edit > Add Approve By field.

    Hi Yasir,

    Unfortunately, adding the approved by field would require re-processing the data import with the correct data. You can either delete journal lines and start again or try to update the existing lines. Both will need the time to complete these 4000 lines. The standard data entity isn't the fastest as it will try to update the journal totals per line instead of at the end of the import job.

    Hi Yasir,

    I am assuming you imported vendor invoice journal lines. In that case, have you tried to update the approver Personnel Id using data management or by using the Open in Excel > Vendor invoice journal?

    thanks for your responding so quickly, only 1 employee has uploaded the data.. and there is not one in approved by field as it is uploaded by through data management,. it is uploaded in different entities by the same person.. let me know if you understand my problem.

    Hi,

    is that the different employee per line? or just one employee for all invoices?

    If one employee, I suggest you to add manually in one line and export, then copy paste for all lines, it can override.
