Create Uninvoiced Receipt Accrual

Use the Create Uninvoiced Receipt Accrual scheduled process to create pairs of debit and credit accounting entries to accrue for receipts of purchase orders that are set to accrue at period end.

The accruals are created for purchase orders:

That are designated as not to accrue at receipt.
Where the receipt hasn’t yet been matched with an invoice in accounts payable.

These receipt accounting distributions are staged within the Receipt Accounting subledger and would be posted to General Ledger after you run the Create Accounting process. These accruals are automatically reversed in the subsequent accounting period when you run the Create Accrual Reversal Accounting process.

When to Use

You can monitor the uninvoiced receipt accrual amounts in preparation for period end by running this process in the Report accrual run mode. Each time you run the Create Uninvoiced Receipt Accruals process, data is created for reporting that you can review by running the Uninvoiced Receipt Accrual Report.

You must run the process in the Accounting accrual run mode at the end each accounting period to create final accrual distributions, preferably after you have entered all the purchase order receipts and closed accounts payable for the period ensuring the period end accruals accounted are for the same value that you've reviewed. You also need to run the Create Accrual Reversal Accounting process in the subsequent open period.

You can run the Create Uninvoiced Receipt Accruals process in the Report mode multiple times during an accounting period, and preview the period end accrual amount from the report. If there was an accrual for a receipt that was uninvoiced before, but is now invoiced, the subsequent run of the process in the Accounting mode won't consider the receipt for period end accrual as the receipt is now fully invoiced.

If you run the process in the Accounting mode during the period, accruals are posted for uninvoiced receipts before period end. Subsequently, if there's an accrual for a receipt that was previously uninvoiced but is now invoiced, and you then run the process, additional accounting entries will be posted to adjust the prior accrual. Although you can run the process as many items as you need, after you run the process in the Accounting run mode, subsequent runs of the process can only be in the Accounting mode and can't be run in the Report mode for a given period.
