IV72623: BMXAA4146E Not a valid GL account Either required components not filled or component values not valid

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• BMXAA4146E - Not a valid GL account. Either the required
  components are not filled or the component values are not valid.
  Make sure the GL account value is entered in the appropriate
  fromat as defined in the GL Account application
  
  Maximo Asset Management  7.5.0.7
  
  WO portion works: The Enter by labor in the labor reporting app
  failed with the  gl validation error:
  "BMXAA4146E - Not a valid GL account. Either the required
  components are not filled or the component values are not valid.
  Make sure the GL account value is entered in the appropriate
  format as defined in the GL Account Applation"
  
  
  Steps to Replicate:
   1) In Chart of Accounts -> Validation Options -> "Validate GL
   Component Combinations" is checked
   2) In Chart of Accounts -> Resource Codes -> Internal GL
   Account has one component selected, with placeholder values
   (???) for the rest of the components eg: (???-???-123)
   3) Create a Work Order with a fully specified GL Account in
   APPR status. We will need a GL Account that can't be merged
   with the Internal Resource Code
           eg: Chart of Accounts list
           111-222-333
           111-222-222
           Work Order GL Account: 111-222-333
           This means that when entering Labor Actuals, the WO
   GL Account will automatically merge with the resource code
   to: 111-222-123 (which is an invalid GL Account because it is
   not in the Chart of Accounts list)
           *note: When entering actuals, the labor GL Debit
   Account will automatically update to "111-222-123" although
   the record can't be saved because it is an invalid
   combination.  This can be fixed however, by changing the
   last component         to either 333 or 222*
   4) Go to Labor Reporting
   5) Enter By Labor
   6) Enter in Labor Record
   7) Select "New Row" under Daily Time
   8) Erase the GL Account in GL Debit Account Field (defaulted
   to ???-???-123)
   9) Enter Work Order that was created in Step 3.
       *Gives you an error saying it is not a valid GL Account
   even though the Work Order GL Account is:
   11436-775-73220000-B8011000, and the defaulted ???-???-123 is
   erased on the field*
   However, if you use "Enter By Work Order" instead:
   10) Enter Work Order that was created in Step 3
   11) Select "New Row"
   12) Enter a labor Record
    *Entering a labor record will change the GL Debit Account,
   but the component is still editable to create the record*
   It looks like it is only the "Enter By Labor" functionality
   that does not let you change the GL Account, even though you
   are able to do this in WOTRACK and "Enter By Work Order".
  
  
  Note - the enter by workorder portion works,
  - but the enter by labor is not working  receiving
  error.
  "BMXAA4146E - Not a valid GL account. Either the required
  components are not filled or the component values are not valid.
  Make sure the GL account value is entered in the appropriate
  format as defined in the GL Account Applation"

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Invalid GL Account error when entering a wonum in the Enter  *
  * By Labor dialog of the Labor Reporting application.  The     *
  * issue is: as soon as you tab out the wo num field, it        *
  * prompts the GL account error and the user has no way to      *
  * correct the account.                                         *

Problem conclusion

• This is fixed in code.  I fixed the Enter By Labor code to work
  the same way as the Enter by WO.  It now lets you enter the wo
  num and does not prompt the error message until OK is clicked.
  That way, user is given a chance to correct the invalid GL.
