Inital posting to a revenue account

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

How do I populate the values in the revenue accounts that are plugged in the access sequences in VKOA before Go-Live. My concern and confusion is that these accounts are plugged in VKOA so ideally they should get populated via some trigger. If I try to post a journal entry directly, then I get the error ,'Enter true account assignment'.

For example, when the question of populating trade receivables domestic account (recon account in customer) came up, that account will get populated automatically when we upload open AR balances.

But in case of revenue account, I am not sure what exactly needs to be done.

Any suggestion/advice

Thanks

The revenue accounts (for that matter all GL accounts) will be updated when the GL balances are uploaded before Go-Live. Normally from FI side four types of opening balances will be uploaded before going live.

1) Customer balances

2) Vendor balances

3) GL Account balances (which includes excise opening balances)

4) Asset balances

Regards,

GSL.

So do I pass a journal entry as I am doing for the rest of the G/L balances? When I tried posting a direct journal entry I got a hard error saying 'Enter a true account assignment'.

Change the message to a warning in OBA5 and then it would work else provide a copa segment in the template you are using to upload the g/l balances
