Charge(Item) line, Prepayment Tax Calc. Type issue

My client is on NAV 2009 R2 [6.00.3212]

They process prepayments on sales orders. Recently, it was discovered that when they added a Charge(Item) for handling, the 'Prepayment Tax Calculation Type' for that line was defaulting to "Normal VAT". This caused the invoice to error when they attempted to post.

The 'Tax Calculation Type' on that same Charge(Item) line = Sales Tax. Also, there is no tax of any kind on their sales orders.

I figured out today that if I added a 'General Posting Type' to the G/L account card, the system did not error. I'm not 100% clear as to why this fixed the problem since "Blank" is the recommended default if they don't use VAT (which they don't).

Can anyone shed some light on why this setting needs to be there? I was unable to locate a Hotfix or any similar issue on Partner Source. My concern is that if they use that G/L account for any other purpose, the G/L Posting Type <> Blank is going to cause other posting errors.

Thank you.
