GP 2013 PO Accrual Account

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 75,788 Moderator
We are entering a PO shipment receipt and in this case then want to add a second accrual account to the distributions. When we added the second distribution we receive this message: "An accrued purchasing distribution already exists". Is there a setting that controls this or is it simply not possible to enter more than one accrual distribution?

    That's what Analytical Accounting is for at the very first place :)

    Another option is to split shipments numbers per department, which could not be accepted by clients sometimes, as it implies more work.

    Is there the ability to using Analytical Accounting with this accrual account?

    Mahmoud, they appear to have an accrual account for each department. In this case they have multiple lines on the shipment receipt and they want the accrual for each line to go to each of the departments.

    Hello Mr. Richard,

    Well, I have never though of using two purchase accrual accounts on a shipment. To be honest, I have no reference or documentation indicating that this is not possible.But I do believe that this account is not supposed to be duplicated within a shipment distribution.

    A bit curious about the inquiry, why would I need to consider two accrued purchases on the same shipment ! Since the concept of the accrued purchase is to have an offset account which is cleared out once the invoice is posted.

    Appreciate you explanation,
