Error: This transaction is missing 'Department' dimension for the Account 52500 on Line No. 2 or The account number '5280' requires a Department

What does the error mean?

In Sage Intacct, for the specified GL account, the department dimension is marked as a required dimension. A transaction cannot be created for the GL account without a department value being present. In Fyle, if an expense created for the specified GL account does not have a department entered then the integration will not be able to create a transaction in Sage Intacct.

How to solve the error?

There are two ways to solve this error and export to Sage Intacct successfully,

  1. Edit the expense in Fyle and make sure the department field is filled. When the department value is entered, the integration can successfully create a transaction on Sage Intacct.

  2. The GL account needs to be modified on Sage Intacct. The department dimension can be marked as non-mandatory. By doing this, the integration will be able to create a transaction in Sage Intacct for an expense that does not have a department entered.

    To make this change on Sage Intacct,

    1. Go to General Ledger

    2. Navigate to AccountsGeneral Ledger Accounts

    3. Here, you will find a list of all the GL accounts present

    4. Search and open the GL account for which you intend to make the change

    5. Edit the GL account

    6. Scroll down to Required Dimensions

    7. Make sure the Department dimension here is unchecked (Marked as not required)

    8. Save the changes and retry the export on Fyle!

NOTE: The above error is explained when a department is missing. Similar errors can occur for projects, clients, locations, customers, employees, etc. The same steps can be followed to resolve all such errors.

Error: Account ‘Travel’ is not valid

What does the error mean?

This error typically occurs when the GL account chosen in the expense has either been deleted or is marked as inactive on Sage Intacct. If the account on Sage Intacct is not active, then the integration cannot create transactions.

  1. Go to General Ledger and click on General Ledger Accounts

  2. Here you will find a list of all GL accounts present in your Sage Intacct account

  3. Search and open the GL account you want to reactivate

  4. Edit the GL account and change the status to Active

Error: The specified GL account '28734' : '28734' is not valid. GL account is restricted by Department

When you try to create a department-related expense in Fyle and a GL account which is not assigned to the department in Sage Intacct is entered then the integration will not be able to create a transaction in Sage Intacct.

How to solve the error?

There are two ways to solve this error and export to Sage Intacct successfully,

  1. Edit the expense in Fyle and make sure the correct GL account is entered. When the right GL account value is entered, the integration can successfully create a transaction on Sage Intacct.

  2. The department dimension needs to be modified on Sage Intacct. The GL account that is entered in the expense in Fyle can be added to the list of allowed GL accounts or all assigned GL accounts can be completely deleted from the department. This change will ensure the integration is able to successfully create a transaction in Sage Intacct.
