I'm sure this has been brought up before. Wondering what the industry has done to resolve the dilemma I'm up against.
Accruing the purchase order (at time of product receipt posting), the voucher is driven by the item/group/procurement category in inventory posting profile.
How does one circumvent this if they want the accrual to go to the GL account that is setup on the PO line? Seems to be something missing here where theoretically there's only 1 accrual account available when a receipt is posted against the PO. If the PO is for expenses only (where items are really service items), I would like the accrual at time of product receipt posting to go to the GL account that is setup on the line item of that PO.
Yes I can have a different account to accrue to based on the item or item group or procurement category, but this still doesn't support my posting when I use this same item for project purchase orders or non project purchase orders (where non project purchase orders are used as expense PO's and project PO's are used for capital purchases).
There's no ability to drive the profile (product receiving) if the PO is project related or not.
Anyone has any opinions / comments?
