Sigh.....oh, nothing, of course

Posted on by 3,480

"Oh, I'm not here for anything special," he said sarcastically.

I only want to mention that I think that it is ridiculous to (a) include the nonsensical message shown below in any ERP application and (b) offer a billion combinations of possible remedies to try only to not have any work.

Otherwise, I require nothing at this time.

Have a wonderful rest of the week!  :)

    HI

    Not sure whats with your subject and your message but I will focus on the screenshot you attached

    If you check the general posting setup in that there are 2 columns Gen bus Posting setup and Gen prod posting setup 

    Now for your combination of Gen bus posting Group = Domestic and Gen prod posting group = Blank there is no such combination in that setup 

    There are 2 ways to fix it

    1. If this combination is correct then add that to the general posting setup 

    2. If this combination is not correct that means your Item is missing the fields gen prod posting group and you need to populate that 

    That should then work 

    Regards

    Vinita

    To add to MahGah's response.

    I never like to see a General Posting Setup where the General Product Posting Group is blank. There are reasons that you have to have General Business Posting Group of blank.....for item journal adjustments. However, think about requiring Gen Bus Posting Group for SCRAP, DONATIONS, OBSOLETE, DAMAGE which would direct item journal adjustments to various general ledger accounts not just one inventory adjustment account. Users can input the Gen Bus Posting Group in item journals.

    Hi

    I believe others provided needed info here. Just a quick note. I realized that if in Posting setup if for each value of Bus Posting you setup one setup for Prod Posting group as blank and do the same thing for bus posting group then you will not receive this message. But then it is a chance that some items or business can post without having value.

    To breakdown the message for you:

    "The General Posting Setup does not exist" = General Posting Setup controls how the numbers flow to the G/L.  You do not want to post a transaction that is not fully setup.  This is where you can see what combinations (Gen. Bus./Prod. Posting Groups) are valid on your transactions.

    Values:

    Gen. Bus. Posting Group='Domestic' = This value comes from the Customer or Value on the Sale/Purchase Document

    Gen. Prod. Posting Group='' = The '' means it is blank.  This value comes from the Item or G/L account used on the document's lines, it is currently missing from this transaction.

    Resolution:

    Whatever Item or G/L you are using is not fully setup, so it cannot process the transaction.  You need to establish a "Gen. Prod. Posting Group" on your Item or G/L used in the transaction.  You will likely need to delete and re-enter the line in question to pull in the new value from the related record.

    Once you have updated the record, it would be a good idea to check other similar records to ensure they are properly setup.  Once your data has been fully setup this warning message will no longer appear.

    P.S. This is a large reason why companies use Item Templates is to ensure the proper values are setup based on the type of Item being created.

    Hi john.ellis ,

    Only you have to declare the Gen. Prod. Posting Group field with some value by the lookup there on Item Card/GL Account card or Fixed Asset card, not sure what card you are using and where, Hope you will not get this nonsensical message again :)

    Thanks.
