Prepaid Inventory

Hi:
 
In a previously used ERP, back in January, Prepaid Inventory was debited.
 
In Business Central, back in March, this inventory item that was prepaid was received in.
 
In the previous ERP, this March event would normally be adjusted through a general ledger journal entry where Inventory is debited and Prepaid Inventory is credited.
 
To conduct this same journal entry in Business Central, then, would normally require direct posting to both of these accounts.  That may not be such a good idea, in respect to best practices.
 
So, what is the best way to handle this in Business Central?
 
Thanks!
 
John

    Assuming prepaid inventory is just a balance to be gradually cleared, I would change the inventory adjustment account in the general posting setup to be the prepaid inventory account.  Process a positive item journal adjustment for the stock received, and then change the inventory adjustment account back.
