GHI refers to Journal entry ID.
Cause
- In the above-mentioned example, the Clearing Journal entry GHI has GL Account 3000 in line item 5 with Profit center PF001.
- However, same GL account 3000 in line item 1 does not have Profit center.
- For the Line item 5, clearing is done for Supplier invoice AAA. Upon checking the Journal Entry of the Supplier Invoice, the Profit center is derived for that respective Supplier invoice AAA.
- However, while checking the line item 1, the Journal entry of the manual payment BBB there is no profit center derived for the manual payment BBB.
- This is the reason that in the Journal entry GHI, there is line item 1 without Profit center and line item 5 with Profit center although both are having same GL account.
AAA refers to the Supplier Invoice ID
BBB refers to the Manual Payment ID
Resolution
The system is behaving as expected.
