Invalid Journal Entry Was Posted to an AP Account

You might receive an error message stating that an invalid journal entry was posted. This error might occur when you run the A/P Orig Doc to G/L by Batch or the A/P To G/L Integrity By Offset Account report. Typically, the AP control offset account (posting edit code = M) includes only machine-generated entries with a document type of AE (automatic entry). The presence of a manually entered document in this account, such as a journal entry, can cause a balancing problem.

To correct this error:

  • Locate and then correct or void the journal entry.

  • Post the corrected or voided journal entry.
