Purchase Invoice – Account Type Error

Question: On saving the Purchase Invoice, I am getting a validation message that Credit To Account must be a Balance Sheet account.

Answer: Upon submission of a Purchase Invoice, the payable amount is updated towards the supplier. According to accounting standards, the Payable Account is categorized under Current Liabilities, which is on the credit side of the Balance Sheet.

The error message indicates that the account selected in the Credit To field does not belong to the Liability Group. Please ensure that the Payable Account selected in the Purchase Invoice is classified under the Liability group.
