Purchase Price Variance account on Item Cards

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

We are doing a mass update to our item numbers and all the associated item cards.  I have been put in charge of figuring out which GL accounts to put on the item cards.  

Does the Purchase Price Variance field need to have an account number, or can it be left blank? And the same question for Unrealized Purchase Price Variance? I have tested leaving both blank when billing through SOP, and I have no problems posting, except that a Cost Variance Journal prints out with zero dollars.  I was unsuccessful in finding any documentation regarding the SOP Cost Variance Journal.  

We are a manufacturing company (not using the manufacturing module), so most product is manufactured. But we do have some items that we purchase for resale.  I have noticed that the "Revalue Inventory" box is inconsistently checked and unchecked.  

I appreciate any guidance.

Best,

Kim Kempf

    Hi Kim,

    Purchase price variance account will be used when you do shipment on one cost and apply different cost while booking the invoice.  So based on your business need you may enter purchase price variance account.

    Yes, you can leave it blank. If the system needs it, the transaction won't post and you'll have to provide an account. If you do not want these reports, go into

    Setup>Posting>Posting and turn them off. Another tip, use the company posting accounts for your defaults. You are only suppose to use the 'card accounts' if they are different from the company posting accounts. Never have the same account in both places, it's unnecessary and a poor use of the GP functionality.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie
