Accrual Schemes - D365

Posted on by 4,029 Super User 2024 Season 2

Trying to determine why my period 12 posting in a 12 month accrual scheme is posting an amount with the opposite sign of the previous 11 periods.  Any ideas?  Thanks

Accrual Scheme Config

Here's my journal

Here are the transactions created using the Ledger Accrual function - all looks good

But when I post the journal, the final period's posting is $1,000 in transaction currency, but flips to -$1,000 for Accounting and Reporting currency.

    Figured it out.  The accounts configured in the Accrual scheme are merely 'clearing accounts'.  When I set the Debit and Credit accounts = same account rather than what I assumed were to be an Accrual account and a Charges account, it worked as expected.  This makes sense as it allows you to use the same accrual scheme for multiple Accrual and Charges account combinations in the journal.

    Hello Frank,

    The only thing that I could find on LCS was

    Solution 3779175Accrual Posting period calculation is not proper

    fix.lcs.dynamics.com/.../Solution;qc=1abe4024148135a1c7d043dbc8ad2b53f6c925c6690f4fb2abd4ce9206cc82a8

    I am not sure whether this helps in your case but they say that you should Setup the accrual with a mid-month posting setup. Can you test whether this helps?

    In addition, can you change your setup 'yearly' to 'monthly' to see if this makes a difference?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    The reason I put a credit of 12,000 is to force the accounting to be correct, plus the journal won't even post if the 12,000 is a debit.  It throws an error saying the journal is out of balance.

    All periods in the year are open.

    I've tried every combination of different Accrual Scheme configurations and journal details I can think of and the only combination that comes close to producing the desired entries are the ones seen in my screenshots.  This combination would be perfect if not for the entry in the last period having signs reversed.  I'm wondering if it's a bug?

    Hello Frank,

    You post 'minus' 12000 on account 14050.

    If you split this over the months, you will get a credit of 'minus' 1000 a month.

    That should be ok, right?

    About the last posting on account 59510: Do you know if this period is open or set on hold?

    If you flip signs for your voucher, that is post 12000 on account 14050, are the posting right then?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
