Validation Exception error when saving recurring sales transactions

[RoxyAtButtery]

Hi MYOB Community, We are receiving Validation Exception errors when trying to edit/save recurring sales transactions in our new Accountright Live file. Removing the "check for transactions unassigned to jobs" tick works. I found this temporary work-around in old MYOB Community discussions which is okay for the short term before we go live 1.7.2016 but we would like a permanent fix before then. How do we tell if it is a problem with our setup or if it is a problem with the MYOB validation procedures? Thanks in advance, Jason.

Hi @RoxyAtButtery

The error message Validation Exception when saving a recurring transaction is something that we have passed onto the team to investigate further. At this stage we don't have a direct time frame for when this particular issue will be rectified. However there is a workaround of unticking the Warn for Jobs on all transactions preference (as you have indicated).

The actual error is caused by the way in which the program validates the values of the sales transactions. When you save a recurring transaction the program validates all journal lines of the transaction. In the back end of the program freight is counted as journal line, even if no values are add to that. So if you have the preference to warn for jobs on transactions the back end of the program assumes that job values are needed to be added to the line in order to validate the transaction correctly.  So the workaround of temporarily disabling the warn for job codes allows for the transaction to be validated correctly and save.

Hi Guys,

We have experieced the same problem.

Where do we find the box "check for transactions unassigned to jobs" to tick it.

Thanks

Hi @Vandavic

The Warn if Jobs are note assigned to all transactions option is found in the Setup>>Preferences>>System tab.

Do let us know how you get on and if you require further assistance.

Thanks Steven,

I checked through previous entries and managed to find it. The box was unticked but the order still could not be 'saved as recurring'?

Any further thoughts?

Thanks

Hi @Vandavic

Can you record that particular transaction or do you get an error message?

Do you have a value in the freight section and also a tax code selected for the freight?

[Vandavic]

Hi Steven,

No, we still cannot save the order as a recurring transaction and yes, we have a value in the freight section with a GST code. I deleted the freight but it still didn't save.

We have saved other orders as recurring transactions but for some reason this particular order does not want to go through??

Hi Nadisha

Log details attached. I have now come across another order which won't let me convert it into a bill which has built products involved. Would really appreciate your help to solve this glitch.

Thanks
