GR/IR Clearing Account Maintenance Use
Quantity differences between goods
receipt and invoice receipt for a purchase order result in a balance on the
GR/IR clearing account.
- If the quantity invoiced is larger than the
quantity received, the system then expects further goods receipts for this
purchase order to clear the balance.
- If the quantity received is larger than the
quantity invoiced, the system then expects further invoices for this
purchase order to clear the balance.
- You can also clear differences for delivery
costs.
If no more goods or invoices are to
be received, you must clear the balance manually.
This can be done in different ways:
- You can return the extra goods to the vendor.
- You can cancel the invoice and post a corrected
invoice or a credit memo for the surplus posted quantity.
- You can clear the GR/IR
clearing account manually.
