G/L Account

For purchased items not defined on the Items form, this account number is used as the debit account for posting as the items are received.

For inventoried items (that is, items defined on the Items form), this G/L account field is disabled. If Post to Journal is selected on the General Parameters form, the debit account used at the target site is based on the inventory account of the stock location/lot to which the item is received. If Post to Journal is not selected, then when creating the PO Line at the target site, the system finds the proper Inventory Material distribution account (defined for the item's product code and the warehouse specified on the PO line) and defaults the value at that time.

Note:  The account number you enter in this field must be a valid account number in the Chart of Accounts.
