   There is no Journal Entry created, it is missing. However a Journal Entry is expected to be created here.

• In this case Warehouse Confirmations are not posted due to the Purchase Order Line Items having a zero Net Price.
• Whenever Purchase Order Line Items have a zero Net Price, the system does not allow the addition of Landed Costs.
• Due to zero Landed Costs, the clearing has not been performed. As per the actual system behavior, if Landed Costs are zero, ByDesign does not support a clearing. Due to this, no Journal Entry is created for the Warehouse Confirmations.
• Whenever a Landed Cost is created in the Header Level, the system will distribute it to all Purchase Order Line Items. Currently, a Landed Cost Entry with a zero amount gets created for the zero Price Items, and the system throws an Exception. The distribution should still use the Item net value as a basis, so a zero value Purchase Order Line Item should not get any Landed Costs assigned. For this issue in future versions of ByDesign we will implement a validation at the Purchase Order Level to avoid the inconsistency.

To avoid this issue, please just do the following:

1. Create a Landed Cost for Purchase Order Line Item Level instead of creating the Landed Cost in the Header Level (for Prices and Cost).
