Inventory Issuing via work orders setting wrong business unit/object account if no account number entered

Inventory Issuing via work orders setting wrong business unit/object account if no account number entered

We recently implemented Work Orders. When Stores issues inventory using the P31113 application it is possible to save the record without entering a valid account number.
The resulting records in the GL contain invalid combinations. E.g. Work order 4123220 has part number 12345 issued. In the GL there will be 2 records after posting containing the following values:
GLMCU GLSBL GLAA GLOBJ
10 -18945 1303
10 4123220 18945 1303

These should be:

10 -18945 1303
4123 4123220 18945 2308

I am trying to sort out whether it is possible to force the user to enter a valid account number, or some way to set up AAIs to a more appropriate default behaviour.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks

The Business Unit and Subsidiary for an inventory issue will be pulled from the work order header accounting information. Remember also that the distribution AAI's will use a search hierarchy if there is not an exact match, so you may have an AAI for company 00000 or GL Class Code **** that is being invoked in the 4124 AAI that you are not expecting.

The data in your post is a little unclear. Is 18945 the object or the actual amount? Is 1303 the object or subsidiary?

Take a look at your work order header and your 4124 AAI's. You should be able to determine where the system is pulling the 1303 value for the debit entry from those sources. Once you figure out where it is getting its values from and why, I am sure a solution will present itself.
