Apply discounts at purchase order receipt accounting

Posted on by Gusilubcn

Hi All,
We are posting the accounting on G/L when posting purchase order receipts.
Our purchase orders have prices but also percentage discounts expressed. (In our case, high discounts)
So, when posting the expected cost of product, the G/L post doesn't include the discounts, that afterwards will be recognized when invoicing.
Is there a way to include discounts in the G/L purchase receipt?
In my case, non having them means duplicating the value of the inventory account.

Thanks
Agustí

Hi Gusilbcn,

Ok.

Yet, the invoiced not received account will be cleansed automatically with the posting of the vendor invoice.

What exactly is the issue with those large amounts where you mentioned that things are doubled.

Can you share how the postings are made (DR/CR) and what account types (BS/IS) are used for making this temporary posting?

Many thanks,

Ludwig

Hi Ludwig,

The problem is not just concentrated at end of the month but always, because the inventory account is almost doubling the value.

The volume of receptions is high and there's always inventroy receipt not invoiced yet. (Talk about milions that are doubling)

Hello Agusti,

I am not aware of a specific parameter that would allow you posting those discounts earlier.

Do you have large discounts?

Is the problem mainly related to month end closing or is there any other reason for this requirement?

Best regards,

Ludwig
