1. Go to the Inventory Valuation work center.
2. Select GR/IR Clearing view.
3. Select the Run ID: XX-XX-XXX (this represents GR/IR Clearing Run ID).
4. Navigate to the Processed Successfully tab and select the Purchasing Document Item ID: AAA (AAA represents purchasing document ID).

Notice that some amounts are posted under Purchase Price Difference.

It is expected that the GR/IR Clearing to be executed after the goods receipt from supplier. If the Goods receipt from supplier is followed by a series of Goods Issue for Customer this reduces the inventory quantity and if it reached the zero quantity and followed by GR/IR run, if there are any price differences then system results in posting to Purchase Price Differences instead of capitalize to inventory account.

To check the inventory quantity, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Inventory Valuation work center.
2. Select the material and click View Cost History.
3. Check the resulting Capitalized Quantity for the selected periods.

GR/IR run does not capitalize quantity. It only capitalizes amount but it makes no sense to capitalize amount if there is no quantity for the material in Inventory. The right way is to perform the GR/IR Clearing Run before Goods Issue for Customer, before the Inventory Quantity turned to zero. In that case, system would capitalize the inventory value (when using Moving Average method) and the Inventory Cost would have got adjusted.
