Message

In ”Parent Account" column, specify valid account

Diagnosis

In the Budget Scenarios - Setup (Scenario - XXX) window, you have selected a parent account for a G/L account. However, the parent account you have selected is invalid, since it has already been defined as a child account of the G/L account.

Note Note

A parent account is a superordinate account with subordinate child accounts.

End of the note.

Example Example

You have two G/L accounts: Acct1 and Acct2. Acct1 is already defined as a parent account of Acct2. You have tried to define Acct1 as a child account of Acct2, by selecting in the Parent Account column for Acct1 the value Acct2, and have then chosen the Update button. This action is blocked in SAP Business One, since having two accounts subordinate to each other leads to an infinite loop.

End of the example.

Procedure

In the Parent Account column, specify a G/L account that is not defined as a child account of the selected account.
