Hi CLReeves,
What is the relationship of your question with the previous one?
What do you try to achieve /find out?
Can you describe this in a new thread and provide some information on your system version?
Many thanks,
Ludwig
Hi Magdy,
The first setting you need to look at is Inventory management > Setup > Inventory and warehouse management parameters, tab inventory accounting, parameter field "Post delivery note in ledger".
If this is set to No, then your cost of goods sold will only be posted at the time of sales invoicing. In that case you don't need accounts specified in "Cost of units, delivered" or in "Cost of units sold, delivered" as the delivery note processing will not post any transactions in your general ledger.
If you have set the parameter "Post delivery note in ledger" to Yes, the delivery note posting will require accounts in the fields "Cost of units, delivered" and "Cost of units sold, delivered". When you then invoice the goods, the system will reverse the postings done as part of the delivery note processing and use the accounts "Cost of units, invoiced" and "Cost of units sold, invoiced".
This gives you full traceability, especially if the unit cost has changed between delivery note posting and invoice posting.
Cheers
Uwe
