In Purchase Order Processing Receivings Transaction Entry, the PURCH account is blank upon clicking the "Distributions" button, despite the fact that the inventory item has an inventory account in Item Accounts Maintenance.
Now, if you inquire on the Released purchase order for this and other items appearing on the receivings, the Inventory account is blank on Item Detail Entry in the purchase order.
Ultimately, receivings pulls the Inventory account from the Inventory account in Item Detail Entry in the purchase order. And, the purchase order's Inventory account pulls from Item Accounts Maintenance or the "Purchases" field in Posting Accounts Setup for the Purchasing series.
Again, these items have Inventory accounts in Item Accounts Maintenance, though no "Purchases" account appears in Posting Accounts Setup.
The clients says that, when they set up an inventory item, they always put in an Inventory account.
So, why would the Inventory account in Item Detail Entry of the Purchase Order be blank and therefore prevent the PURCH account from appearing in Distributions in Receivings Transaction Entry?
Thanks!
John
