Hi Sage,

The purpose of the GL Account validation options in the AP81B company profile are with the existence of GL accounts and/or department pairs, and nothing to do with inactive accounts, when adding a distribution detail to an invoice or cash invoice.

Account-department: A valid account-dept pair must exist in the Ledger data.
Account only-dept on file: The account and department codes must separately exist in GL, but the combination does not.
Account only: The account must exist in GL but the dept does not.
None: Type in any GL account / department you want without validation.

'None' will not look at the GL to determine if codes exist.

Note that this only affects batch entry and does not affect other places where GL accounts can be entered, such as Distribution Codes or Distribution Sets. Where are you getting the error and what is the message?
