Product: Sage 50
Error: An error occurred while importing! This happened for Field Name: G/L Account.
Issue: When attempting to export an inbound Purchase Order (850) from your Trading Partner within Transaction Manager into Sage 50, you receive the following error: 'An error occurred while importing! This happened for Field Name: G/L Account.'
Reason: The General Ledger (G/L) Account mapping required for Sage 50 to properly categorize the financial transaction has not been configured within Transaction Manager's Business System settings. Without these values, Sage 50 is unable to determine where to post the transaction financially.
Solution - Configure G/L Accounts in Company Configuration
The General Ledger (G/L) Accounts used by Transaction Manager during the import process need to be set up within your Business System configuration. You will need to provide values for the applicable account types that correspond to your Sage 50 chart of accounts.
Navigate: Business System → (Company Name) → Company Configuration → G/L Accounts
Enter: The appropriate G/L Account values for each applicable field:
Item Translation — Account used to map specific items to a G/L Account
Income — Account used to post income or revenue from the transaction
Expense — Account used to post any associated expenses
Cost of Sales — Account used to post cost of goods sold
Save
If you are unsure of the correct G/L Account values, refer to your Sage 50 chart of accounts or consult your accountant or Sage 50 administrator.
