Scenario

Non Inventory Items > Generate Accruals = T > Item Receipt has no GL Impact

Item settings at the time the Purchase Order line iscreatedis the basis of whether accruals will be generated or not.

Item receipt shows no GL Impact even if Generate Accruals is set to True on the item record.

Note:In order for the new setting to take effect, the Purchase Order item line should be created from scratch. As such, making a copy of a Purchase Order that was created before Generate Accruals was enabled will still inherit the old settings. The old settings will also remain if you make a copy of an old Purchase Order, use Copy Previous button to make the new line, and save the Purchase Order.

Solution

Follow these steps to resolve this problem:

1. View related Purchase Order review system notes date created.

2. View item record and review system notes change Generate Accruals False to True.


Alternate Solution:

1. Delete the Item Receipt.

2. Edit the Purchase Order.

3. Remove the line item.

4. Re-add the same line item.

5. Save the Purchase Order.

6. Receive the Order.

7. Verify the GL impact has generated accruals.

If the Make Copy function was used in creating Purchase Orders, ensure to perform the following steps on the next Purchase Order:

1. On Edit of Purchase Order, go to Items tab

2. Remove the line item containing Non-Inventory Item

3. Add the same Non-Inventory Item back as a new line (do not use Copy Previous button)

4. Save the Purchase Order.

5. Receive the Order.

6. Verify the GL impact has generated accruals.
