Overhead Applied Account Error on PI Posting

omyvadiya

Hi,
When trying to post a Purchase invoice then below mentioned error pops up, but not for all purchase invoices.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV

---

Overhead Applied Account must have a value in General Posting Setup: Gen. Bus. Posting Group=DOM, Gen. Prod. Posting Group=IPAD. It cannot be zero or empty.

---

OK

As per my understading Indirect Cost % value on Purchase line gets updated for some items, due to that it searches for Overhead Applied Account.

Any idea, how and why it gets updated.

Thanks in Advance

Hello @omyvadiya ,

The over head/Indirect Cos% field in the item card need to be set to zero.

Hi @Sachin_ ,
That's already 0, but still the error persists.
The temporary solution is to set indirect cost % to 0 on PO line level, then it will be posted, but that isn't a permanent solution.

@omyvadiya So in the posting setup, you're missing a GL code for the overhead applied account. So the item record thinks it should have an overhead applied value, this will have been inherited on the purchase line and when you post the purchase line, without the setup in place, you'll get this error.

I'm not sure without looking whether this is a general posting setup value, or an inventory posting one, but if you check both, you'll find the gap.
