Purchase Order Receipt

Hi:

I have noticed that, upon posting a purchase order's receipt, no posting to the G/L happens.

Why not?

    Hi,

    This is something you switch on in the "Inventory Setup"

    You then need to ensure you have the relevant GL codes setup in the "General Posting Setup" and "Inventory Posting Setup"

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks

    Only applicable to inventory, as the naming conventions would suggest.

    Does this all work, if the Item Type in the line item is "G/L Account" instead of "Item"?

    John,

    Posting a Purchase Receipt is for a Type = Item since this actually receives Inventory into the Sub-Ledger. If Expected Cost = TRUE, you get your accrual entry and this will reverse when you post the Invoice. As for G/L Account Type, their is not actual Post Receipt and it will only record the entries when you Post Invoice

    Thanks,

    Steve
