Hi every one,
I want to ask about “posting date” and its impact on financial accounts with perpetual inventory.
Let me assume that I have a Purchase order for 100 pieces of material A with price 1$ for each piece.
And I have quantity=0 for this material.
After that I entered 3 documents:
1- GR PO for 100 pieces.
2- GI for 100 pieces.
3- Invoice for 100 pieces @2$.
Because of insufficient coverage when the invoice was entered (quantity=0), 100$ would be debited to Expense account.
After these 3 documents general ledger would be like this:
Question is:
If I entered the 3 documents with the same order but with different “posting date” like this:
1- GR PO for 100 pieces ,posting date= 1-1-2016.
2- GI for 100 pieces ,posting date= 3-1-2016.
3- Invoice for 100 pieces @2$ ,posting date= 2-1-2016.
Would this change the values posted to general ledger?
I mean: does system calculate the coverage quantity on “posting date”, or at the moment I enter the data to the system?
Thank you in advance,
Ismaiel.
