Not able to apply payment against invoices

I am not able to apply a payment that was made against multiple invoices.

When I try to apply entries, and set Applies-to ID, I get the following error.

Cannot post because you did not specify which entry to apply. You must specify an entry in the Applies-to ID field for one or more open entries.

I tried the following but still no luck.

- Cleared the Applies- to ID, repopulated it and tried to apply

- Tried to apply the payment against each invoice, instead of bulk application

@Teddy Herryanto (That NAV Guy), I am trying to apply from Vendor Ledger Entries. Also, when I follow the exact same steps in a different company, it works just fine.

@YUN ZHU, thanks Yun, I tried all these remedies, but none seem to work. in fact, I raised this question only after trying all the workarounds mentioned by you previously.

Once you apply, see the very first column, you should have the document number of the journal in there.

If it's hard to figure out the problem I would suggest asking a developer to debug it, I'm not sure if it's a standard issue or something custom.

Thanks

I hope this can help you, and give you some hints.

Solved: Cannot post because you did not specify which entry to apply. You must specify an entry in the Applies-to ID field for one or more open entries.
