Symptom
You expect GL account to be passed on from Purchase order to Goods and service receipt(GSR) and then from GSR to Supplier invoice.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
1. Go to the Purchase requests and orders workcenter
2. Purchase orders
3. Select the Purchase order
4. Navigate to the items tab and further to the account assignment tab
5. Here you will see G/L account appearing
6. Go to document flow tab and open the follow up documents
Where G/L account in the GSR or the Supplier invoice of this purchase order is empty
Cause
Currently for supplier invoice the base document is Purchase Order and the Account account information flows from purchase order to GSR.
However if GSR was not manually created but via time confirmation then currently we have a technical limitation to send GL account from PO to GSR in case the GSR is created automatically from a time confirmation.
Resolution
This feature is not supported in the current release of SAP Business ByDesign.
however this can be achieved by Partner add-ons ,who can read the info from Purchase order when the GSR is created from time recording to populate G/L accounts in GSR and invoice.
