"Posting Account is Invalid"

Mar 08, 2007 5 Replies

My Accountant recently did some work on my Quickbooks file as I was having problems (I'm NOT an Accountant!) Today I tried to enter an Invoice. I used a memorized version of the Invoice that I have been using for c. 10 years. It gave me an error message saying "Posting Account is not Valid". How do I find out what account it thinks is invalid (the Invoice has several items posting to different accounts) and why it has suddenly become invalid? The Accountant claims she did not make any changes to Accounts.



Thanks for your help,

Look up each item on the invoice and examine the default GL accounts they post to. change it to a valid one.

How about the sales tax account (assuming you use one)?

Problem solved. My Accountant's Clerk had decided she didn't like one of my Accounts so she changed it so that I couldn't use it in the same way!

I could have sworn you said "The Accountant claims she did not make any changes to Accounts." Doesn't the Accountant know what the clerk is doing on her behalf? The olde "The Clerk did it" defense.
