    Hi,

    AFAIK, the Accrual scheme doesn't work for PO/SO. Have a look at docs.microsoft.com/.../accruals-overview

    Hi Vinay,

    Can you share some details what exactly is your business requirement to suggest you the better solution.

    If you want to create accrual for your procurement expenses then Yes there is a functionality in ax 2012.

    Hi Vinay,

    Why would you create an accrual scheme for a purchase order?

    If you purchase items that are stocked then the value of those items are put in your warehouse.

    From a financial perspective this is a pure balance sheet transaction that does not impact your P&L.

    Can you elaborate what you want to accrue?

    Many thanks,

    Ludwig

    Good morning Vinay,

    There are two options that I see for this.

    Option 1:

    Create 12 lines in your PO that represent each a separate month and post the lines separately into the different months

    Option 2:

    Make a system modification.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hello Vinay,

    I am wondering why Insurance comes under PO accrual?

    Based on my experience this type of accrual can be booked either with Cost invoice by invoice register with accrual scheme and invoice approval or invoice journal with Accrual scheme.

    Another option is you can book with GL journal entry with accrual scheme.

    To customize system for this context will require more effort where as we already have possibilities in system and that is fit to accounting.

    Hi Vinay,

    Usually we pay insurance premium for 06 months or Yearly.

    When we buy insurance we post:

    Debit: Prepaid insurance

    Credit: Cash

    Then we post adjusting entry at the end of every accounting period:

    Debit: Insurance Expense

    Credit: Prepaid Insurance

    Why don't you use Accrual schemes on invoice journal to keep it simple.

    Find below some information on Accrual scheme:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../create-accrual-schemes
