Hi experts,
I have a question regarding the 'General Posting Setup'.
In the matrix - you have on your far left - both the 'Gen. Bus. Posting Group' and 'Gen. Prod. Posting Group'.
To the right of these two columns you define to which G/L Accounts different document types will derive/suggest during postings.
For example 'Sales Account', 'Sales Credit Memo Account' and so on.
My question relates to the following two columns:
- 'Purch. Account'
- 'Direct Cost Applied Account'
In our setup the accounts defined in both columns belong to the income statement.
And in all cases the postings equals to zero - because we have a debet and a credit posting on the exact same amount.
We are a manufactoring company and in our setup we use raw material item numbers when we purchase goods and these postings hit the inventory accounts in the balance sheet - the setup for this is defined in the 'Inventory Posting Setup'.
I don't understand why the postings also have to end up in the income statement.
Perhaps we got it all wrong?
To sum up - what I need is a description on all the columns in the 'General Posting Setup' or an example of how you have filled in the account numbers (do they belong to the income statement or balance sheet).
Thx in advance.
And have a nice day :)
Bedst regards
