This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing G/L Account: The most common cause is that the line item in question does not have a G/L account assigned to it. This can happen if the account is not defined in the system or if the account is not properly linked to the relevant account assignment.

  Account Group Settings: The account group settings for the G/L account may not allow postings for the type of transaction you are trying to execute.
