Cause

Resolution

You should choose a G/L Account that is available for selection, for example, of G/L Account Type Other assets.

In case you want to use a G/L Account belonging to an account type that is not compatible with Offsetting Account Assignment, you might consider changing the account type.

However, for such change some preconditions apply. Further information is available in help document, in section Changing the Account Type.

The system behaves as designed.
