## Short answer

When a sales invoice exists in LN Invoicing but not in accounts receivable or the general ledger, the posting stopped in integration transactions. The usual causes are a missing integration mapping scheme, a closed or blocked financial period, an invalid ledger account or dimension, or an unprocessed integration transaction that needs to be reprocessed after the data is corrected.

## Kind

error

## System

## Erp

## Module

Invoicing / Financials Integration

## Query

Infor LN sales invoice not transferred to financials integration transactions stuck

## Alternate Queries

- Infor LN invoice posted but not in general ledger
- LN integration transactions error invoicing to finance
- Infor LN invoice not appearing in accounts receivable
- LN integration mapping scheme missing invoice posting

## Applies To

Infor LN 10.x with Invoicing and Financials in the same or separate companies; the integration concept is also used in earlier Baan releases

## Steps

### How to trace and fix the missing posting

**Items:**

- Confirm the invoice status in the invoicing session: printed, posted or transferred. Note the invoice number, invoicing company and date.
- Open the integration transaction overview for the financial company and filter on the source module and the invoice reference.
- Check the status of the transaction: pending, error, processed. Open the error text for any transaction in error.
- Verify the integration mapping scheme for sales invoices exists for the relevant legal entity and transaction type, and has a ledger account for each line type (revenue, tax, receivable).
- Confirm the financial period for the posting date is open for the module, and that the fiscal year exists.
- Check the ledger accounts and dimensions used are active and valid for the company, and that mandatory dimensions are filled.
- Correct the mapping or master data, then reprocess the integration transaction instead of re-invoicing.
- Verify the document appears in accounts receivable and the ledger, and reconcile the invoice total with the posting total.

### Where the posting can stop

**Body:**

Invoicing in LN produces the commercial document. The accounting entry is produced through integration: the invoicing module writes integration transactions that the financial side picks up and turns into accounts receivable and general ledger entries using a mapping scheme. If an invoice exists and the ledger entry does not, look at the integration transactions, not at the invoice itself.

A pending transaction that has not been processed often means the processing session or job has not run. An error transaction has run and failed. The two need different responses: start the job in the first case, fix the cause in the second.

### Mapping schemes and account determination

**Body:**

Account determination is driven by the integration mapping scheme. For each transaction type and line type, it decides which ledger account is debited and credited, based on criteria such as item group, customer group, tax code or product line. If no mapping row matches the invoice, there is no account to post to, and the transaction errors.

A new item group, a new tax code or a new customer group is a typical trigger: an invoice for the first time uses a combination nobody mapped. Add the mapping, or add a catch-all row for the combination if your policy permits one, and reprocess.

**Code:**

Typical mapping inputs
Transaction type: sales invoice
Line type: goods / freight / tax
Criteria: item group, customer group, tax code, product line
Result: ledger account + dimensions

### Periods, blocked accounts and dimensions

**Body:**

Even with a correct mapping the posting fails if the period is closed. Month-end is when this appears, because invoices dated in a closed period cannot post. The right fix is a decision, not a click: either the finance team reopens the period for the module, or the invoice date is corrected to an open one if rules allow.

Check ledger accounts for a blocked flag and for dimension requirements. If a cost centre or project dimension is mandatory for a revenue account and the invoice line carries none, the posting stops. Fill the dimension on the source data or relax the rule through the finance owner.

### Reprocessing, reconciliation and prevention

**Body:**

Once the cause is fixed, reprocess the transaction. Do not issue a credit note and a new invoice just to get a posting; that creates two legal documents and a messy audit trail. After processing, reconcile the invoiced total for the period with the receivables control account.

To prevent repeats, add a daily check for integration transactions in error and review it before month-end close. Reconciling invoicing to the ledger weekly will find a stuck transaction in days instead of at quarter end.

## Pitfalls

- Re-invoicing instead of reprocessing the failed integration transaction.
- Treating pending transactions as errors when the processing job has simply not run.
- Opening a closed period without finance approval to push one invoice through.
- Adding a mapping row that is too broad and posting future invoices to the wrong account.
- Ignoring mandatory dimensions on revenue accounts.
- Discovering stuck transactions only at month-end.

## Ai Angle

ERPray can list integration transactions in error with their first error text, group them by missing mapping or closed period, and compare invoiced totals with receivables for the period. It shows the query used and follows LN roles, and it does not post or reprocess. A finance user does that with approval.

## Faq

### Why is my LN invoice printed but not in accounts receivable?

**Answer:** The accounting posting runs through integration transactions. Check whether the transaction is pending, in error, or processed. Errors usually point to a missing mapping scheme row, a closed period, or an invalid ledger account or dimension.

### Should I cancel and re-issue the invoice?

**Answer:** No. Fix the cause and reprocess the integration transaction. Re-issuing creates a second legal document and a credit note, which complicates the audit trail and customer statements.

### What does a missing mapping scheme mean?

**Answer:** LN cannot determine which ledger accounts to post to for that transaction type and criteria combination. Add the missing mapping row for the item group, customer group or tax code involved, then reprocess.

### Why does this happen near month-end?

**Answer:** Periods are closed and cut-offs applied then, so invoices dated in a closed period fail to post. Agree with finance whether to reopen the period or correct the date, and review errors daily during close.
