Symptoms

When entering an AP Voucher from Standard Voucher Entry (P0411) where the company on the transaction has the Company Tax Constants (P00218) set to Balance G/L Distribution by Pay Item activated, the amount to distribute by pay item and the tax form is loaded, but when exiting out of balance using the form exit, the pay item is not brought into the G/L Distribution form.  This produces an Invalid Pay Item error.  

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Go to Tax Setup (G00218) and go to Invoice and Voucher Company Tax Constants (P00218). Verify if the Balance GL Distribution by Pay Item and Tax is flagged for your company.
2. Go to Standard Voucher Entry (P0411) and create a voucher using the company above. Press OK.
3. In the Amount to Distribute by Pay Item and Tax, enter  the appropriate values then take the Form Exit - Exist Out of Balance.
4. When it takes you back to the GL Distribution for the transaction, note that the Pay Item field is blank, and error "Invalid Pay Item" is given.
