NSC | Account > Add/Change Subsidiary > Error: "The subsidiary restrictions on this record.."

Scenario

When updating an account record to add new subsidiaries, the user encounters an error message: "The subsidiary restrictions on this record are incompatible with those defined for item: XX. Subsidiary access on this record must be a superset of those permitted by the item." They are seeking assistance in understanding and resolving this issue.

Solution

To avoid the error, make sure that the subsidiary access on the account is broader than the subsidiary access on the item. the Subsidiary restrictions of the GL Account should be a superset of (meaning, it is the same or it exceeds) those permitted by the item.
