Error Description:   While promoting order with Free Text Item option user may face error message as “Could not write the Line Item. The cost of Goods Sold account is required. $ The Sales Account is required.”
Reason :  This message occurs when user is trying to promote an order with a free text item. While promoting free text item, GUMU promotes it as a Special Item in Sage 100.  This message appears when in Sage 100 the value for “Special item Sales” is not set in Sales order options. If you try to create orders from Sage 100 using special item it will give you the same error message.
Solution : To resolve this issue, user will have to set “Special item COGS” in Sage 100 in Sales Order option screen. Once it is set, user should be allowed to promote orders with special items.
