Expected Cost Posting to G/L Field, Inventory Setup Table

Specifies this field to allow the program to post expected costs to interim accounts in the general ledger to get an estimate of the cost of received items before receiving the purchase invoice.

Additional Information

If you place a check mark in this field, and there are already expected cost value postings, the program posts these expected-cost value entries to the general ledger the next time you run the Post Inventory Cost to G/L batch job.

Expected costs are posted to interim accounts in the general ledger. If you want to post expected costs, you must set up interim accounts for the relevant posting groups.

Note

If you enable the Expected Cost Posting to G/L field, or the Automatic Cost Posting field, or the Automatic Cost Adjustment field, then the amount of entries and data detail the system every time you post something will increase. This may reduce the performance of your database considerably.
