Symptom
- Issues are encountered when posting non-stock items.
- When a supplier invoice is posted, it debits a Purchase In Transit account.
- The Goods and Services Receipt credits the Unbilled Payables account.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center.
- Go to the Invoices and Credit Memos view.
- Search for and open the relevant supplier invoice document.
- Select Actions > Simulate Journal Entry.
- Observe that the supplier invoice debits a Purchase In Transit account.
- Go back and navigate to the Document Flow tab and open the Journal Entry created for the Goods and Services Receipt.
- Observe that the Goods and Services Receipt credits the Unbilled Payables account.
Cause
If goods are received but the invoice is not received, the unbilled payables will be posted to ABC ('ABC' refers to the Unbilled Payables account), and if the invoice is received but goods are not received, the goods in transit will be posted to XYZ ('XYZ' refers to the Purchase In Transit account).
Resolution
- This is the expected system behavior.
- Once both the goods and related invoice have been received, perform a GR/IR Clearing run to clear the ABC and XYZ account.
