Cannot Select Party Type and Party in Journal Entry

Frappe Framework
1

I am trying to add a party to journal entry and the party type field does not give any selection option, only create doctype. I can also not select party as no party is listed and no option to create one.

This is what i see when i click the party type field:

How can i fix this? Any help will be appreciated.

I am also seeing Create a new DocType as the only option for Party Type when creating a journal entry.

Similar questions asked but unanswered:

  1. Party type for expense claim
  2. [Not an issue] Wrong link for creating new Party Type
  3. How can I use party type?
  4. How to Attach Party to Non-Receivable/Payable Account in Journal Entry

The first in the list suggests altering the Python code for Journal Entry!!

I do see hints that Party Type can only be selected for the Company default Receivable and Payable accounts. If I am right about that, I’d really appreciate an explanation of why that constraint has to be there.

If there is a explanatory article or video somewhere I would be glad to know.
Thanks

What I have found is that setting an Account to “payable” or “receivable” makes it possible to select a Party Type when creating a Journal Entry affecting that Account. I don’t think it has to do with company defaults, but I could be wrong.
So the quick solution is to go to the Account master and change Account Type to either Payable or Receivable.
