Post Zero Amount Transaction

Under certain conditions, if you post a transaction that contains a zero cost amount, the posting fails and you receive this error message: "[Post] was not successful. Cost is 0.00000000." To allow the system to post the transaction, select the Post Zero Amount Transaction field.

The above error message can appear for transactions with zero amounts when the Post to Journal parameter (on the General Parameters form) is selected and one of the following conditions is true:

• one of the five accounts is different between the two Item Stockroom Locations.
• the item's cost method is specific, the item is not lot tracked, and one of the costs is different between the two item stockroom locations.
• the item is lot tracked and one of the costs is different between the two item stockroom locations.
