Set up an accrual account for items received without a supplier bill

When you record items received without a supplier bill, you need to allocate the anticipated purchase amount to an accounts payable or inventory accrual account.

If the account does not exist, you need to create it. The account should be a liability account named, for example, AP Accrual - Inventory. For information on creating an account, see Easy setup assistant.

Before you can allocate transactions to this account, you need to make it the linked account for items received without a supplier bill.

1	Go to the Setup menu, choose Linked Accounts and then Purchases Accounts. The Purchases Linked Accounts window appears.

2	Select the I can receive items without a Supplier bill option.

3	In the Liability Account for Item Receipts field that appears, type or select the inventory accrual account.
