2221341 - Customer Invoice for the Sale of a Fixed Asset cannot be posted: Unposted Source Document Error

An invoice for the sale of a fixed asset has to be posted. But although the Account Determination for Fixed Asset Sale/Scrapping is maintained, the posting of the invoice is not possible. Instead the document remains as Unposted Source Document in the Source Documents view at the General Ledger work center and the system issues one of the following error messages:

Account determination is missing for item type Revenues from Sale of Fixed Assets (on Gain). Specify account determination in chart of accounts XYZ: ABC Chart of Accounts (DEF) and account determination profile <HGI>. Column Path Fixed Assets->Asset Sale/Scrapping->Revenue from Sale of ..., Position Type Revenues from Sale of Fixed Assets (on Gain).

Specify account determination in chart of accounts XYZ: ABC Chart of Accounts (DEF) and account determination profile <HGI>. Column Path Fixed Assets->Asset Sale/Scrapping->Revenue from Sale of ..., Position Type Revenues from Sale of Fixed Assets (on Loss).

XYZ represents the ID of the chart of accounts.
ABC represents the country of the chart of accounts.
DEF represents the name of the chart of accounts.
HGI represents the ID of the account determination profile.
