Error message

Failed to export expense. The supplier's Creditor G/L account does not match the one for the selected Purchase journal.

Affected ERP integrations

  • Exact Online

Cause

This error occurs when there is a specific Purchase G/L account linked directly to the supplier's account card in Exact Online. When a G/L account is linked to a supplier in this way, Exact Online requires that all purchase transactions for this supplier use that specific G/L account.

If the Purchase journal you're trying to use for the expense has a different G/L account assigned to it than the one linked to the supplier, the export will fail due to this mismatch.

Solution

To resolve this issue:

  1. In Exact Online, go to Accounts > Suppliers > Overview.

  2. Click on the name of the supplier causing the error.

  3. Click Edit.

  4. Scroll to the Creditor section.

  5. Check if there's a G/L account linked in the G/L Account: Purchase field.

  6. Click on the magnifying glass icon next to the G/L Account field.

  7. Click Delete to remove the linked G/L account.

  8. Click Save.

Once the G/L account link is removed from the supplier's account card, return to Payhawk and attempt to export the expense again. The export must now be successful.
