The system raises errors as follows:

• 'Value <G/L Account ID> in setting Accounts Receivable: Receivables must also be entered in setting Permitted G/L Accounts by Account Type and Posting.'
• 'Error for Account <G/L Account ID> in Chart of Accounts <CoD ID> and acct det. profile <Account Determination Profile ID>'
• 'A/c <G/L Account ID> used in a/c det; "No postings allowed" not possible'

6. You follow the steps of KBA 2316367 and know that the errors are raised since this G/L Account is still mapped in the account determination of one of the subledger.
7. Click Where-Used list to find where is the account being used.

You see that the account is used under Account determination path: Accounts Receivable: Receivables -> Receivables from Bill of Exchange - Unpaid

8. You go to the above account determination path, however under Receivables subledger you do not find the column related to Receivables from Bill of Exchange - Unpaid. You only see the column Receivables from Bill of Exchange, which is already empty.

The column Receivables from Bill of Exchange - Unpaid is currently not visible since is country-dependant, hence it only becomes available once country Spain is assigned to the profile.

Once the country is added, column Receivables from Bill of Exchange - Unpaid becomes visible in the account determination and you're able to remove the G/L Account from the column. Once you save the changes, you shall be able to change the posting block of the related G/L Account.
