Hi all,

I am posting the Purchase order of service type.

The Project-cost type of Transaction takes a random main account in the voucher.

If anyone knows the issue, please reply.

Yes,

It occurs due to mistake in Item creation, its item group and setups, which affects the customization.

Now we have to create New Items with proper item groups and setups for solve the issue.

Hi Andre,

First, we have tried to generate the issue with remove the recent customizations for PurchTable form but still the issue is not resolved.

We have debugged the issue and found that the Main accounts is taken from

Project Management and Accounting > Set up > Posting > Ledger posting setup

Thank you all for your valuable comments,

Hi Rajborat,

I would suggest that a developer will use a debugger to find out where the main account is taken from. Are you aware of a recent change or customization in your environment?

Hi Andre,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, this PO is related to the project expense and are created on basis of project. But there is no mapping of main accounts on the project categories. Currently till now it was taking on the basis of the Inventory posting setup.

Hi Rajborad,

Is this invoice related to a project expense instead of a purchase order? In that case. the main account linked to the project category will be used.

Hi Anton.

We have provided the main account on the item groups, and we have checked the posting setups. Everything looks good.

But when we are posting the transactions for each PO, system has started to take any random main accounts in posting.

This account differs from each user account. This is the recent issue which occurred in the production.

Hello,

It's not random, the account used depends on the setup. You will have to check the posting setup to see why it's using this account.
