Troubleshooting Revenue Unallocated

This happens when there is no Sales Item Mapping Link

You can check in the following places

  1. Invoice line detail
  2. Related Transactions
  3. Income Statement detail lines

Invoice line detail

Check the invoice lines and then check on the Sales Item Mapping section to see if you have matches. 

If not, you will need to setup

Related Transactions When this occurs one must check the invoice line details
Income statement (Financial Performance) reports Run the report and print to screen

If you have amounts in the Revenue – Unallocated GL ledger, it means there are sales mappings missing

Therefore, the system will default to the default GL Links setup account.

Check the details of the invoices that make up the Revenue – Unallocated by clicking on the name to get the details.

You will now see all the invoices that make up the value of the sales revenue posting.

Now click on the Reference line of one of the invoices to see the details of the invoice

Go and check the following information on the invoice

Invoice Group + Service Code = GL Account (Sales Mapping setup)

Go and check the Sales Item Mapping grid to see if the Map exists, if not create a new one.

Once mapping is setup, next import or manual invoice will follow the sales item mapping rule.

Existing Revenue – unallocated posting in books. You must clear this account with a General Ledger Journal and allocate the values to the relevant Sales Revenue accounts.

One needs to check on a monthly basis that this account does not have any values.
