    Hi Wilda,

    What type of invoice is this? You used the tag Project management, so possibly a project invoice? Check all posting setup for missing ledger accounts. Also check if the ledger account which should be used is part of an active account structure and also linked on the Ledger form.

    If all setup ia correct, you can review the accounting distributions and perform a reset or complete it manually.

    Hello Wilda S,

    When you are in the invoice posting form and select the subledger journal button what do you see?

    Are there accounts missing?

    Here is an example how it looks in my demo environment.

    Hi Ludwig Reinhard,

    here is the subledger journal.

    What's next?

    Best regards

    Hello Wilda S,

    Based on the error message I would have expected that an account is missing but this seems ok.

    Can you check that a posting profile is setup in your AP parameters in the 'ledger and sales tax' tab and that this posting profile can be found in your PO header in the 'setup tab'?

    If this is also setup then please check that none of the ledger accounts that you see in the subledger journal is suspended.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hello Ludwig,

    Actually, the error pops out because our team activate a financial dimension.

    So, the things we do is just un-active the financial dimension.

    If you have time, please help me to solve problem in this link community.dynamics.com/.../291896

    Many thanks and best regards.

    Hi Ludwig

    I have a very similar problem to this

    I am trying to post purchase invoices in a relatively new legal entity

    I have setup the COA and all the main accounts plus I have setup all the posting profiles (or at least I believe I have).

    I followed the steps you mentioned above but I still get the error message...

    One or more accounting distribution is missing a ledger account or contains a ledger account that is not valid. Use the Accounting distribution form or the Posting profile to update the ledger

    I have checked all the distributions and everything looks in order - all the transactions are assigned to an account etc.

    Is there anything you could suggest - sorry for hijacking this thread !

    Hello Andy,

    You can check if the setup of automatic posting accounts in GL overcomes the problem.

    In addition, you can run the consistency checks in the OrgAdmin module, which might highlight missing account setups.

    If non of those actions resolves the problem, I would recommend that you contact a developer who can help you debugging the problem.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig

    Thanks for the reply...it ended up being much more simple than expected.

    I had not specified the financial dimensions against the transaction.

    I went back to the account structures and set them up to accept blanks..."",* and everything started to post OK.

    Odd that I did not get any error message or warning to tell me the FD was mandatory?

    Also the error message was a little ambiguous / misleading - it didn't suggest an error with the FD just something wrong with the ledger account or Posting profile.

    Thanks

    Andy
