Inventory posting purchase order invoice

(0) ShareShare

Hi, 

I am posting a purchase order invoice and I get two lines with zero amounts in the ledger accounts defined on these posting types highlighted in red:

Could anyone explain why or how these accounts are used? 

This is my understanding so far: 

* Purchase expenditure for product: PL account to identify PO invoiced amounts

* Purchase accrual: BS account to identify un-invoiced PO purchases. What is the difference then with account type "Cost of purchased materials received"?

    Hi,

    The accounts that you highlighted are commonly used when a PO packing slip is posted.

    At the time the invoice posting is made, the packing slip posting is reversed leaving a $0 balance on those accounts.

    Those accounts and that posting helps you tracking items that have been received but not invoiced, which is especially helpful for month-end / year-end closing.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
