# Resolve a Missing or Invalid Account Mapping

### How to Resolve a Missing or Invalid Account Mapping in Muhasib ERP

### Overview

This guide will help you identify the missing or unsuitable account default and restore correct posting without editing generated ledger lines.

If this issue is stopping your work, do not worry. Follow the steps one at a time, and check the result before trying again.

New allowed transactions can post to the intended account; historical reposting is not assumed.

### Who can do this

You need access to Source transaction and accounting-settings view; mapping changes require accounting administration authority.

### Before you start

Record transaction, message, company, item/party/tax/payment master, expected debit/credit accounts, current settings, period, and approval.
