1. In the General Ledger workcenter navigate to the Journal Entries - Journal Entry Vouchers view.

3. Maintain company DEF and all other mandatory data, such as Journal Entry Type, Screen Variant etc.
4. In the G/L Account column click into the value help and search for account XYZ.

In the easiest of cases the G/L account XYZ is not assigned to the charts of accounts of the company and set of books combination that you have selected in the journal entry voucher.

You need to check the Chart of Accounts (CoA)  and Set of Books (SoB) set up in Business configuration:

5. In the top table select a chart of accounts.
6. In the table below use the filter function to look for G/L account XYZ.
7. You find out that the account XYZ is assigned to chart of accounts ABC.

To find out which set of books this chart of accounts ABC and which company is assigned to this CoA-SoB combination:

1.  Navigate to the Business Configuration workcenter and here to the Implementation Projects view
2. Open the Activity list and go to Integrate and Extend phase.
3. Find the Set of Books activity and press Open.  If your system is live already, navigate to the Business Configuration- Overview and open the activity from here via View or Change immediately.

8. In the journal entry voucher change the company to GHI. Then it will be possible to select G/L account XYZ.

Should the G/L account still not be available, other Business Configuration settings will have to be evaluated.
