3025682 - Point of Sales Transaction Account Determination Posting Error

You are trying to post a Point-of-Sale transaction, however an error message 'Account determination is missing for item type Sales Revenue. Specify account determination in chart of accounts <ABC> and account determination profile <DEF>. Column Path Sales->Revenues (Materials)->Sales Revenue, Item Type Sales Revenue' is raised.

(ABC represents the Chart of Accounts code, DEF represents the Account Determination profile).

1. Go to the General Ledger work center.
2. Select the view Source Document.
3. Search and find Point-of-Sale document ID GHI (GHI represents the Point-of-Sale transaction ID).
4. Here we can see the error: 'Account determination is missing for item type Sales Revenue. Specify account determination in chart of accounts <ABC> and account determination profile <DEF>. Column Path Sales->Revenues (Materials)->Sales Revenue, Item Type Sales Revenue'.

The error appears because the account determination cannot be determined for the secondary processing of Sales items to the G/L Account (Origin). A Sales posting will post to the related Sales Account first and secondly to the GL Account Origin.

The item in question has no product maintained, and no business partner maintained.

Without either a Business Partner or Product maintained, a line in the Chart of Accounts, Sales Ledger for Revenue needs to be added, with blank values under Account Determination Group for Customers and blank value under Account Determination Group for Materials.

1. Go to Business Confirmation work center.
2. Go to Implementation Projects view.
3. Open the activity list.
4. Search and find the activity Charts of Accounts, Financial Reporting Structures, Account Determination.
5. Under Account Determination select Sales.
6. Select the Revenues Tab.
7. Maintain a line with blank values under Account Determination Group for Customers and blank value under Account Determination Group for Materials.

As Point-of-Sale transactions do not require the customer to be maintained, having the above setting is good practice to allow these transactions to post.
