Resolution

In order to successfully upload the journal entry voucher into the system, you need to:

  • Enter the sales document type for all items;
  • Leave no mandatory field with empty values;
  • Enter the sales document ID and sales document item ID for all items;
  • Enter a G/L account (Origin) of the original sales revenue account for postings to G/L accounts of type OLIAB- Other Liabilities*;

*If you post to Deferred Cost or Deferred Revenue accounts then maintain the actual expense or revenue accounts in the G/L account (Origin) field. If directly post to expense or revenue accounts the G/L Account (Origin) will be derived automatically.

This way the upload will work.
