A missing account flag means a journal entry doesn’t have an account assigned. Every journal entry must have an account to ensure accurate reporting.
How to review missing account errors
To locate journal entries without an assigned account name:
- Go to the Ledger page.
- Click the Accounting filter.
- Select Missing account.
This will filter the view to show only the affected entries so you can review and correct them.
Causes of missing account errors
These errors may occur for the following reasons:
- An account has not been manually assigned to the journal entries.
- A rule has not been created to automatically assign accounts.
