General Posting Setup/ Inventory

Posted on by Community Member

Hello,

I have an issue with General Posting Setup. I have created my first item and all posting groups, etc. Now I want to post a purchase invoice, and I get a message that in General Posting Setup Purch. Account must have a value. In my Gen Post Setup all lines have a value in Purch. Account column. Do you know what could I be getting this error? Is it mandatory to have ALL possible combinations for Gen post. setup, because I do not have all possible ones.

Hi,

It is clear with error that for required combination of Gen. prod posting Group and Gen Bus. Posting Group there is not any account mapped in Purchase Account field.

Just note the Purchasing item's Gen. prod posting Group and Vendor's Gen Bus. Posting Group and then go to General posting setup and check the combination of both posting groups and mention the purchase account.

Best Regards,

Paras Mehan

Well this is specifically my problem. I have checked the vendor which has a business group Export. The item has a product group identified as well. When I go to gen. post. setup the line with Export + indicated product group have a value in both sales account and purchase account. I tried to post a sales invoice I got the same message that sales account must have a value though Customer business group + product group line have "sales account" indicated

Hi,

Please check again that you mentioned the account no in Sales/Purchase Account or Sales/Purchase Account (Trading)?

As per your screenshot, the purchase order you are trying to post does not contain General Business posting Group value, as well as General Product Posting Group value (they are both "Empty" in the purchase order). You need to do the following:

- fill in correct values of those groups on item card and vendor card, and re-create purchase invoice

- or, take existing purchase order and select those values manually there

- or (which is not recommended) create a setup which would define "Empty" general business posting group with "Empty" product posting group intersection

Hello, thanks for your time.

I have tried to create a new purchase order, checked that it has correct bus. post. group + product posting group. It allows for me to release the purchase order, but if I press to release and invoice it shows the exact same error.

I am wondering can there be any conflict between these posting groups? Product is bought from abroad so its non-VAT and sold with VAT.

If I try making a sales invoice it gives me the exact message saying I need sales account (though I have sales accounts for all the matrix in gen post setup)

About creating the empty+empty option in posting setup, I cannot do this since the product posting group is mandatory..

These all re standard errors which should be respected to move ahead. The easiest way is save the error into your Notepad and then navigate to General posting Setup. Inventory Posting Setup or on whatever setup the error is and then check for the combination and cross verify.
