Symptoms

When you try to post a packing slip for a purchase order in Microsoft Dynamics AX, you receive the following error message:

Account number for transaction type Purchase, packing slip purchase does not exist.

Cause

This problem occurs because the Post physical purchase check box is selected for the inventory model group that is used for the item in the purchase order.

Resolution 1

Clear the Post physical purchase check box for the inventory model group in the Inventory model groups dialog box. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Select Inventory management, expand Setup, expand Inventory, and then select Inventory Model Group.
  2. In the Inventory model groups dialog box, select the correct inventory model group, and then select the Setup tab.
  3. Clear the Post physical purchase check box.
  4. Close the Inventory model groups dialog box.

Note
