Invt. Posting Group Code and Location Code

Hi all !

Do you work with Items, informing the "Location code" in the item transactions?

Have you ever seen an error message like this?

The Inventory Posting Setup does not exist.  Identification fields and values: Location code='MENORCA',Invt. Posting Group Code='TERMINADO'

This message usually appears when you have created a new Location code, (MENORCA in the example) and you're going to post the first item entry to the new location.

The error message appears because there's not a combination of the new "Location code" MENORCA  and the "Invt. Posting Group Code" TERMINADO, in the "Inventory Posting Setup" page:

AND ALSO:

The previous pass it's not enough, as you have to inform the "Inventory Account", otherwise, you will find the following message error:

"Inventory Account must have a value in Inventory Posting Setup: Location Code=MENORCA, Invt. Posting Group Code=TERMINADO. It cannot be zero or empty."

Hope be useful, see you soon!

General Journal Error

Hello again!

There are three common errors when you post Journal Lines.

Suppose that we're going to post a simple entry. I mean, without VAT entries or additional ledger entries. For example:

Note that "Gen. Posting Type", "Gen. Bus. Posting Group" and "Gen. Prod. Posting Group" fields aren't blank. Moreover, "VAT Bus. Posting Group" and "VAT Prod. Posting Group" fields are not visible but maybe they have a value.

Anyway, when you try to post it, the program reports one of the following error messages:

1.- Check that the all the entries with the same Document No. and a VAT. Bus. Posting Group and VAT Prod. Posting group associated have a Customer/Vendor associated, check that all the lines with the same Document No. have not more than one Customer/Vendor associated, check that all the lines with the same Document No. have in the field Document Type the same value: Invoice, Credit Memo or Finance Charge Memo

This error appears because at least one line has a value in the "Gen. Posting Type", "Gen. Bus. Posting Group" and "Gen. Prod. Posting Group" fields. If previous fields are blank then check "VAT Bus. Posting Group" and "VAT Prod. Posting Group" fields.
Anyway, the program considers you´re trying to post an invoice or a credit memo, and so, you need to specify a customer or a vendor.

2.- Gen. Posting Type must not be    in Gen. Journal Line: Journal Template Name=GENERAL, Journal Batch Name=CAJA, Line No.=10000

In this case "Gen. Posting Type" field is blank. The error appears because line 10000 has a value in "Gen. Bus. Posting Group" and "Gen. Prod. Posting Group" fields. If the previous fields are blank then check "VAT Bus. Posting Group" and "VAT Prod. Posting Group" fields. 
The program considers you're trying to create sales or purchases entries, and so he needs to know if the posting type is a sales or a purchase type.

3.- The VAT Posting Setup does not exist.   Identification fields and values: VAT Bus. Posting Group=",VAT Prod. Posting Group="

This error appears when at least one line has the following characteristics:
"Gen. Bus. Posting Group", "Gen. Prod. Posting Group", "VAT Bus. Posting Group" and "VAT Prod. Posting Group" fields are blank, but the "Gen. Posting Type" field has a value.
The program considers that you want to post additional sales or purchases entries and so, he needs posting groups and VAT posting groups.

THE SOLUTION:

In order to avoid the previous error messages, you have to leave blank the following fields in the journal lines: "Gen. Posting Type", "Gen. Bus. Posting Group", "Gen. Prod. Posting Group", "VAT Bus. Posting Group" and "VAT Prod. Posting Group"

See you soon!
