[AX 2012] Account number for transaction type Purchase expenditure, un-invoiced does not exist.

I encounter the error “Account number for transaction type Purchase expenditure, un-invoiced does not exist.” when I enter purchase receipt and post journal entry. This happens not only for receipt, but it also happens in any posing entry (Such as picking list jounal, report as finished journal, etc).

Account number for transaction type Purchase expenditure, un-invoiced does not exist.

Account number for transaction type Purchase, accrual does not exist.

Posting has been canceled.

  • All of required default account is set in item group master

  • No foreign currency is used in trasaction

  • Maximum penny-rounding/difference is set as 0.01

  • The posting was done without any problem until several days ago, but suddenly it turned invalid due to unknown reason.

  • There are multiple companies in one instance, and only some companies have this issue and some do not.

Could anybody suggest solution?

Thank you in advance.

Sorry, the problem was self-solved !

The reason was that somehow “account structure” was deleted.

I was misleaded by error message. Default account setup was totally correct but it was just a miss of setup in COA (account structure).

Hey Makhir,

I am also facing the same problem when i am post purchase product receipt .

Account number for transaction type Purchase expenditure, un-invoiced does not exist.

Account number for transaction type Purchase, accrual does not exist.

Hi Arun,

Typically this error message is shown due to unproper setup of default account code for each transaction (such as setup in Item Group).
I would recommend to check if the default account is set in Item Master.

In my case, it was due to missed setup of account structure in Main Account master.
If above doesn’t solve the issue, please check your account structure.

Hi Arun,

The accounting architecture has changed a lot in 2012. Remeber before using any account, that account should be present in COA configuration.

The error message you are facing can have two causes:

  1. Either the required ledger is not setup in Item group. You can check item group, purchasing tab.

  2. Or the ledger has been specified in item group but not included in COA configuration.

You will get solution between the two options.

Can you share your Account Structure setup you used to eliminate this error?

I was playing around with contoso demo data by adding my own demo company. Therefore, I didn’t create my own account structure. What I added was “Balance Sheet Items” and “Profit and Loss Items” which are already prepared in contoso demo data. Added theses account structure to COA solved the problem in my case. Hope this helps :wink:

Thanks for responding. i am coming frm AX 4 to AX 2012 so just trying to get a hold of how to implement this part of things.

I am also in demo and will try to add the 2 that you did and see if this helps me. For your Balance Sheet Items, did you just add Main Accounts or did you also add any segments as well?

Thanks!
