Explanation: The Account Class System Exception occurs for receivables, shipments, work orders, stock requisitions, and invoices that are missing an account assignment.  This means that an account class required for the transaction is not assigned to an account for the general ledger. The system requires account assignments to track and save the general ledger transactions.

Resolution: 

  1. Confirming Security Rights
  2. Determining the Account Class
  3. Determining the General Ledger Source
    1. Rollup Group
    2. Parent Value
  4. Accessing Account Assignment
  5. Assigning the Account to the Account Class

Confirming Security Rights

To resolve the system exception, you require security rights to open and save account assignments. If you do not have the security rights, have an administrator complete this procedure.
