Ledger Accrual scheme

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 79

Hi, 

Can anyone please help me with one doubt that I have regarding accrual scheme functionality.

I have done accrual scheme setup for 12 months. 

Now in my case we are using internal project type and are creating PO for services. In some cases PO created for the entire year are being received at the start of the year as the entire amount need to be paid together(ex: license fees). So the product receipt is being done at the start of the year and the cost is being charged to the account code.

So in this case we pass the journal from account code to prepaid expenses & then amortise such expenses on monthly basis. For amortising we are trying to use accrual scheme functionality.

Now we are creating general journal with Project 1 & category account ......dr

                                                                                 Prepaid expense a/c cr

So after applying accrual scheme when I am trying to post the journal I am receiving the below mentioned error - 

"Account number for transaction type Ledger journal does not exist."

I have checked the posting profile for the selected project id and category combination.

Doubt which i have is that system does not allow to post journal with 'project' account type. Can anyone confirm this ??

Or suggest a better approach to handle this kind of scenario.

    Hi  ankag,

    For the posting of project account type can you go to this path "Project Management and Accounting\Setup\Posting\Default offset accounts for expenses" and check if the account is configured here or not. if there is not then please configure it with desired account and post the transaction again.

    Regards,

    Faisal

    Hi,

    The ledger accrual scheme does not allocate / distribute costs to projects.

    Those costs are accrued only at the GL level.

    What you can do is posting the PO service costs to a bridging account that is then used in the accrual scheme to allocate the costs over time.

    This allocation is, however, done only at the GL ledger and is not visible at the project unless you make a system modification.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
