Using Document Type blank in General Journal

Hi all

I'm working on a integration between SAP and NAV and one of the things we bring in from SAP are Bank Statements. We post them through Web service and they pass through General Journal.

As SAP guys have trouble matching the rules we have when checking postive/negative amounts in gen. journal, we thought of suggesting using Document Type blank for all the Journal lines that come from SAP (to simplify things).

I remember that I heard somewhere (some time ago) that using blank document type could lead to potential issues in customer/vendor/bank ledger entries.

Has anyone had any similar experiences?
Or to put it simply, are you aware of any problems we could face with this approach (using document type blank)?

Regards
Ivan

P.S NAV code base is quite old (3.01/3.10 - meaning no detailed cust/vendor ledger entries)

    Hi Ivan,

    NAV 3.01/3.10 has detailed ledger entries. Regarding blank document type: if you don't set the document type, amounts checking is off. Also payment discount handling and payment tolerance handling (>3.10?) is off then. You can fill the fields in the Gen. Jnl. Line directly, though. So, basically this is no problem, only all comfort (and error-prone) functions are off then.

    with best regards
