Bug in NAV / Business Central when Cancelling Posted Sales Credit Memo


Introduction:

With the evolution of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central from Microsoft Dynamics NAV, many of us did not get the chance to completely explore Business Central to its entirety.
One such bug that I found in Business Central is when you Cancel a Posted Sales Credit Memo, system throws an error. Let take a closer look at the bug.

Pre-requisites:

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Demonstration:

When Cancelling a Posted Sales Credit Memo, the error I get is
 'The General Posting Setup does not exist. Identification fields and values: Gen. Bus. Posting Group='DEFAULT',Gen. Prod. Posting Group='''
When I created a General Posting Setup with Gen. Business Posting Group as 'DEFAULT' and Gen. Prod. Posting Group as '' I get an error 
'Gen. Prod. Posting Group must be filled in. Enter a Value.'



This in not only related to Posted Sales Credit Memo but all the Financial Documents that do not use Gen. Product Posting Setup.

Also, to verify I had tested creation of General Posting Setup with Gen. Prod. Posting Group as BLANK and it was successful.


Conclusion:

With confirmation from Microsoft Support, they have officially declared this functionality as bug.
