When I was searching for a way to accrue project cost while receiving purchase orders (impact on project profit and loss), I found this below article and I was wondering about the last step. What is the benefit of making a vendor invoice and leaving it? Will this have any impact on the cost of the project or not because it is not clear in the article?

Thanks Frank Hamelly for replay

Unfortunately, this step did not lead to anything to project cost in P&L report.

So What is the effect of pending vendor invoice.

Project cost accrual on purchase receipts

Posting a product receipt does not impact project information. As a workaround, you could generate a draft vendor invoice right after posting the purchase receipt. Go to the Purchase Order page > Invoice tab > Generate > Invoice. This creates a pending invoice document that updates project information.

Creating a draft vendor invoice will generate pending project transactions.

These two sentences appear to confirm that a pending vendor invoice will record cost in the project, so long as the other configurations in the article are applied.
