How to Fix “No G/L Entry Within Filter” Error in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 (Complete Troubleshooting Guide)

Introduction

One of the most common posting errors encountered in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 is:

“There is no G/L Entry within the filter.”

This error usually appears during Purchase Order posting, invoice posting, or other financial transactions.

The issue prevents the system from generating the required General Ledger entries and stops the transaction from being completed.

Understanding the Error

Under normal circumstances, every Purchase Order or Invoice posting creates corresponding General Ledger entries.

When NAV cannot determine the proper accounting entries, posting fails and the system displays:

“There is no G/L Entry within the filter.”

The problem is usually related to:

• Missing WHT Product Posting Group
• Incomplete posting setup
• Missing posting groups in purchase lines
• Corrupted purchase line data
• Prepayment inconsistencies
• Quantity posting issues

Solution 1: Check the WHT Product Posting Group

Solution 2: Verify Purchase Order Line Information
