Error - 'No supplier specified for member profile. Contact your administrator' when creating a new Expense

Updated over a week ago

This error is a result of the user having no Supplier code associated with their FocalPoint user record and as such the system is unable to determine which account the Expense should be raised under.
​
To resolve this:

  1. Log into FocalPoint Administrator

  2. Browse to System Control, Security Profiles

  3. Highlight the profile containing the affected user and click Members

  4. Highlight the user in the list on the left

  5. Click Setup... next to the Supplier Code field

  6. If you know the Supplier code to be used, you can type it into this field, otherwise you can use the "..." button to select one from the list of Suppliers. If no valid Supplier exists, then a new one will need to be set up in Dimensions first

  7. Once the correct Supplier has been selected, tick the box to set it as default and then click OK

  8. Click OK on the members screen to save the changes

If the user is trying to enter a Credit Card Expense, they will also need a Credit Card Account specified on their Member record.
