CA306000 Unable to Create Payment on Bank Transactions to post to the Control account
Date: 14/07/2026
Status: Planned fix in 2027R1
Reference: ADV-79843
Issue
In 2025.2 and later, some users have reported that when using Create Payment from Process Bank Transactions (CA306000) and selecting a control account as the offset account, the system displays the warning: “Account xxxxx is a control account for AP. Although posting to this account is allowed, we recommend that you select a non-control account.” Although the message indicates posting should be allowed, the warning is currently behaving as a hard block and prevents the payment from being created.
Workaround
- On the Cash Transactions form (CA304000), manually create a transaction for the cash account of the bank transaction, with the same date and amount and the entry type that you used on the Create Payment tab. In the detail line, set Offset Account = the control account (there will be the same warning), and release the transaction.
- On the Process Bank Transactions form (CA306000), select the bank transaction. If Create is selected on the Create Payment tab, clear it.
- On the Match to Payments tab, select Matched for the transaction from step 1, and click Process.
