how i can expense an item to two different expense accounts in different situations ?

Posted on by 14,849

Dear 

we have inventory items that when used internally (internal consumption) affect a specific ledger account, and when used for a project or program affect a different ledger account. 

any idea's how we can manage this?

    Hi Patrick

    For internal consumtion you must use inventory/Setup/posting/posting - purchase tab - section purchase expenditure for expense. For project or program you must use Main account allocation rules, please see the follow blog for more information about this.

    Hello Patrick,

    What you need is an "identifier" for internal and project/program purposes. This identifier can be a financial dimension that you e.g. link to your AX projects. If you have this identifier you can either directly differentiate your transactions based on it or you can use General Ledger Allocation rules to distribute the amounts posted to different ledger accounts.  

    Please also note that the project module has a separate posting setup. Maybe setting up specific ledger accounts for item transactions is sufficient?!

    Hope it helps,

    Ludwig

    Hello

    Can you please define how you intend to expense the items for the internal process and the project process?  This will help to suggest solutions

    Cheers
