Accrual Clearing Report

Use the Accrual Clearing report to generate a list of accrual clearing transactions, for a purchase order and accrual account, that have been automatically or manually cleared.

As a cost accountant, you would typically use this report during the period end to review the accruals cleared. You must specify a date range within which the transactions occurred will be considered for generating the report. You can optionally specify the accrual account for which the report must be generated.

When to Use

You should run this process when you need to review the list of accruals cleared. This report is typically generated at the end of the financial reporting period.
