Why are Inactive Items and Accounts allow posting?
HI There
I wanted to confirm what the expected behaviour is if an item is inactive and so is the associated GL account?
Example
A bill credit was created from a bill transaction:
This was created on the 23/5/2023:
The item ("Opening Balance Item-AP") was already inactive at that point:
And so was the GL account the item was posting to:
Shouldn't the bill credit transaction not been saved?
i..e both the item and the GL account are no longer available at the time the bill credit transaction was created so I would've expected an error message
Thanks
