However, when the ignore invoice variances for inventory destination purchase orders feature is enabled by setting the value of the ORA_CMR_IGNORE_AP_INV_VAR_ALL profile option to Yes, you will notice that some of the additional distributions aren't created in receipt accounting or cost accounting. These are created only when this option is set to No, which is the default behavior. This table shows the accounting distributions when the option is set to Yes.
