Hi all,

I am seeking help with regard to creating a purchase order for a non inventory item and subsequently creating a purchase accrual. Whereas, system is currently crediting the vendors right after posting of Purchase order.

Thanks.

Hi,

If you "Receive and Invoice" when posting the PO, and nothing has been received already, then no accrual will be created regardless of whether the Item is inventory or non inventory.

For Inventory items if you just "Receive" when posting, and "Expected Costing" is switched on in Inventory Setup, then an accrual will be created. However if the item is setup as Non-Inventory then when just receiving the PO no GL entries are created. GL entries are only created when posting the invoice for non-Inventory items.

Therefore if you want automatic accrual postings I can only suggest setting up the item as an Inventory item.

See below for an example of posting a Non Inventory item on a PO:

Click Post and choose "Receive" and no GL entries are created:

Thanks

Hi Gavin,

Thank you for the prompt response.

However, is there any other work around? Other than creating Non-Inventory as items.

Thanks,

Mufazzil.

Gavin’s suggestion is more typical. Your other choice would be to create a journal to manually address the accrual. Would involve you filtering for the relevant purchase lines.

The other thing to do would be have a customisation to perform the process as you need. Working with your Microsoft partner here is advisable.

Hi Mufazzil,

In business central, you cannot post-purchase accrual for non-inventory/service items while posting receive only.

Josh is right you need to customize the process for it.
