Why do I get "You can only deposit to chequing or other current assets accounts" error ,when posting tender voucher account payment?

Legacy KB ID: 3364

Question

If I Post an account payment from POS, where I used the tender voucher function, I receive a message : "You can only deposit to chequing or other current assets accounts", followed by " Can't record invalid transaction". Alternately, sometimes I only get the message " Error on line x, Can't record invalid transaction".

Why is this?

Note if tendering by voucher, when creating the invoice, this problem does not occur.

Answer

Reckon Accounts will not allow receive payments against liability accounts. 

Ensure your Voucher account is of type cheque or "Other Current Asset".
