Item goes to Expense Account instead of Inventory account

[jane_liang]

hi all,

I have an item that is hitting the expense account instead of the inventory account for the Purchasing documents.

It is setup as manage by Item Group.

The Item Group GL accounts are correct.

Why would an item be using the expense account vs. inventory account? When is the expense account used as setup in the item group GL determination?

Thanks,

Jane

Hi Jane,

Check that the item is ticked as a stocked item on the Master data. It would generally be expensed if it is not stocked

Hi

Two point u have to check

1)Inventory > Item Master Data > Inventiry Data tab > Set GL By is "Item Group" then go Administrator > Inventory > Item Group > accounting Tab and chk there GL

if Set GL By is "Warehouse"

Administrator > Inventory > Warehouse > accounting Tab and chk there GL

2)Administrator > Setup > Financial > G/L determination >Inventory Tab chk there GL

Where GL r assign for item..ck there u will gt

Thanks
