Sales - Distribution Type is Missing Or Invalid

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by David Cervelli

I’m having an issue where the edit list returns an error about ‘Distribution Type’.

I create a transaction and when I run the edit list it returns an error ‘This Distribution Type is missing or invalid’. The error occurs whether the amount is a Cost, Debit Amount, Trade Discount, freight, Misc., or Tax. I don’t get the error when the amount is Cash or Check.

If I change the type on the distribution from Fright to say Cash and then try to change it back to fright I get the message which makes no sense.

If I hit default on then it recreates with freight but still fails in the edit list.

Any suggestions?

Hi David,

Please try to enter some amount on Debit amount and try the edit list. I think debit memo GP might be looking for amount to be filled in this field.

You are correct, if I remove the fright amount and added an amount to Debit Amount it worked without an error but that is not the transaction I'm trying to do.

To confirm this is a valid transaction, I run the transaction with only the amount on Freight in the test company (two) I get no error on the edit list so something is going on with this company and I don't see why.

Thanks in advance for any help.

No, throws the same error even with a shipping method. I'm thinking its a something with a setup or data because I can do this in test (TWO) company.

Babu

First thanks so much for your help. When you say receivable setup are you talking about Sales >> Setup >> Receivables >> Options? If so we have don't have tax's on our transactions so they are empty.
