Field MATNR mandatory during a posting

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I'm trying to post an invoice using a G/L Account but the system give me the following message "An entry is required in Material field for account XXXX".

Is it a problem of G/L Account master data?

Thanks in advance

Check in the field status group of the GL account if the field MATNR is set as mandatory.

There will be three tabs in MIRO

PO reference

G/L Acct

Material

In the third tab material enter material number & plant & post

this field is mandatory because in the g/l account data is a field status (FS01 transaction) assigned and this field status is defined in customizing and controls whether a field is mandatory or optional.
