It is might possible that while making transaction entry user may come to know that the ledger or G/L account to be hit as effect of transaction is not exist in Sage 300 G/L Account’s master. In many organizations certain process will be followed to create a G/L account which involves proper authorization levels and approvals from the accounts heads. In such case if the system does not allow the non-existent G/L account to be referred in the transaction then it will cause the delays in further processing, reporting or invoicing and can create unnecessary delays in bank transactions documentations , document filings etc.
Sage 300 provides the option to set the action to be taken if any non-existing G/L account is referred on finance transactions as well bank services entries.
