A/P Invocie can not pick up the default expense account defined in Item Group (SAP B1)

[helen_jim]

Dear Experts,

When the user added the A/P Invoice, the system prompted for the missing G/L code.

Here is the setting :

General settings: Get a G/L account by Item Group

Item master : Non-inventory item ; get a G/L account by Item Group; Bank Charge for Item Group

Item Group : already defined the expense account for the Non-inventory item.

User has to manually key in the expense account for invoice posting everytime. Please advise how come the system cannot populate the default expense account from the item group

Best regards,

Helen Jim

This should work fine. Check BillTo country of BP you selected, if he is a foreign partner then you need to set up Expense account - EU or Expense Account - Foreign.

Also check:

• that you don't have any customizations (maybe FMS that overwrites GL account)
• that the problem is actually expense account (maybe it's control account for BP, tax account, freight account, down payment account, rounding account if it's foreign currency document, or something else that you have on your invoice)
• that you are testing this on a newly entered document (if you are copying from purchase order that didn't have expense account set up at the time of creation, it will also be blank on your invoice)

Hi,

I checked the issue in the DEMO FP2202 and it worked fine. The Expense GL Account was picked in the row of the Invoice.

You can check by removing any customization (if defined).

Also, so test in DEMO to see if the issue you are facing is appearing in the DEMO database.
