Can't Approve an Expense "Missing required account on accountable line"

Question

Hi all
I am currently using Odoo 19 installed on premises and trying out the expenses module.
Upon logging my first expense, I was able to submit it to manager for approval but I am unable to approve it to be recorded as an expense.
As the title mentioned the error reads
"Validation Error
The operation cannot be completed: Missing required account on accountable line"
I have tried the following:
1. Check Expense settings and selected an Expense Outstanding Account
2. Set Manual Payment (Cash) as

Hi,

The error "Missing required account on accountable line" occurs because Odoo needs an account to post an approved expense. Even when using manual cash payment, each expense line must have an Expense Account and an Expense Outstanding/Payable Account to create the necessary journal entries. Without these, Odoo cannot complete the approval process.

To resolve this, check that your expense products have an Expense Account set and that the Expense Journal has a default account configured. On-p
