Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center.

  3. Fill in all the details and select the Post button.

Resolution

The line item of the supplier invoice is assigned to a G /L Account: Prepaid Expenses which is of type other assets, which is a balance sheet account. 

Normally the balance sheet accounts are of types Assets and Liabilities.

So you need to change the G/L Account and try to post the supplier invoice.
