Resolve Error: “Invalid Account reference key XX for subsidiary XX” upon saving Purchase Order.

Scenario: When creating Purchase Order, after selecting an Item and clicking on Save, error message appears: Invalid Account reference key XX for subsidiary XX . Subsidiary is active. Subsidiary is mentioned in the described Account.

Solution:

  1. Navigate to Lists > Relationships > Vendors > Open the Vendor Record 

2. Under the Financial subtab, check the field DEFAULT EXPENSE ACCOUNT. The value therein will automatically be populated/added under the Items subtab > Expenses 0.00 sublist.

3. Change the value of DEFAULT EXPENSE ACCOUNT to null/blank.

Error occurs because the account under the Items subtab > Expenses 0.00 sublist of purchase order and Default Expense Account under the Financial subtab of vendor account differs.
