How to: Suggest Purchase Accruals

The program has a special feature that suggests purchase accruals. These accrual suggestions are made by looking at purchase transactions with calculated accrual amounts that have not been posted.

If an accrual plan has a check mark entered in the Post Accrual w/ Document field, its accruals will be automatically posted with the documents from which they were generated, and will not appear when you instruct the system to suggest accruals in the Accrual Journal window.

To suggest purchase accruals

1. In the Search box, enter Plan Journal, and then choose the related link.
2. On the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose Suggest Purchase Accruals to open the Suggest Purchase Accrual Entries window.
3. Fill in the fields on the Options FastTab.
4. On the Purchase Accrual Plan FastTab, you can set filters to select purchase accruals by accrual plan number and/or computation group.
5. On the Vendor FastTab, you can set filters to select purchase accruals by vendor number.
6. Choose the OK button to start the batch job.

When the batch job is finished, the purchase amounts that have been selected for accrual are listed in the accrual journal.
