How to: Edit an Accrual on a Purchase Order

When an item is entered on a purchase line, the program automatically calculates accrual amounts based on accrual plans for which the relevant vendor and purchase item are specified. A calculated accrual amount can be edited directly on a purchase order before it is posted.

An accrual can be edited on a purchase order only if the Edit Accrual on Document field for the relevant accrual plan has been checked.

To edit an accrual on a purchase order

1. In the Search box, enter Purchase Orders, and then choose the related link.
2. Open the purchase order with the accrual you want to edit.
3. On the Lines FastTab, in the Promo/Rebate Amount field, locate the accrual you want to edit.
4. Click the accrual amount to open the Document Accrual Lines window.

The lines in this window represent the payment accounts that exist for each accrual. For example, if a single accrual has three payment accounts, there will be three lines in the Document Accrual Lines window.

5. Edit the value in the Payment Amount field.

When the purchase order is posted, the program will accrue the amounts that have been entered in this window.
