Project Inventory Tracking by Warehouse Location: Generated Transactions

When you process a purchase order for a project, you create purchase receipts and accounts payable bills. On release of the inventory receipt associated with the purchase receipt or the AP bill, the system generates the GL and project transactions described in the following sections.

GL Transactions Generated on Inventory Receipt Release

When an inventory receipt created on release of a purchase receipt prepared for a purchase order is released, the system creates a batch of the general ledger transactions shown in the table below.
