    Hi lally,

    I think I did not get your question correctly at the beginning but after your comment, I hope :-) that I got what you mean.

    Please correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that you refer to the subledger posting framework that was introduced with AX2012.

    Andre was writing a post about that, which provides a more detailed Explanation why those changes were made. Please see: community.dynamics.com/.../ax-2012-asynchronous-subledger-functionality-redundant-or-interesting

    In addition, please have a look at the following whitepaper from MS that describes the whole concept based on some accounting examples. www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx

    I can understand that you and many other AX users feel a bit confused by the many 'in & out' postings created. However, this is the way how it is done in AX and we need to try to understand and interpret the things in the way how this was designed.

    If you don't like this way of posting, you can always suggest MS to change it by posting a comment on the Dynamcis ideas Website.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Thanks for the reply ,

    Why MS made such a complex design that to track the purchase expenditure ,we need to depend on posting type  ?

    Why MS did not design in such way to post [urchase expenses debit and credit post to different accounts , instead of same account ?

    Any inputs from your end on this ?

    Hello lally,

    One possibility is by referring to the posting type, which means that you have to analyze your ledger account in combination with the posting type used.

    This can be done either through the voucher inquiry form, the Management Reporter or other Standard Reports.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
