Creating Financial Transactions

When an organization purchases the same items for resale and internal consumption, the purchase order line type you select will determine how the purchase is accounted for. The Description and Capital Equipment purchase order line types are used for purchases that will be used for internal consumption. Inventory purchase order line types are used for resale items.

When a receipt is recorded for a description type or capital equipment purchase order line type, an inventory transaction perpetual record is generated in order to produce a journal in FFA.

The table below shows the fields for the Inventory Transaction Financial Records ITFRsClosed Allow you to track the financial transactions arising from acquiring, managing and selling inventory items. You can track information such as who was involved in the transaction, what the transaction was for, when and where it took place and why. This information can be sent to financial systems such as FinancialForce Accounting. You can also view Inventory Transaction Financial Records from the Perpetual with Financial report. and examples of the values that are expected for each of the new financial transactions created when an Inventory type purchase order is received. The values used on the purchase order line for this example are as follows:

The currency of the Inventory Control Point (ICP) the purchase order was shipped to is USD.

Field Description

Financial Transaction 1

Financial Transaction 2

GL Account General Ledger Account Expenses AP Liability
ICP Currency Currency of the Inventory Control Point (ICP) if used USD USD
ICP Unit Cost Unit cost using currency of ICP 10 -10
ICP Value Amount Unit cost using currency of ICP X Quantity 40 - 40
Quantity Receipt Quantity 4 4
Trade Currency Purchase Order Currency USD USD
Trade Unit Cost Purchase Order line Unit Cost 10 -10
Trade Value Amount Purchase Order line Unit cost x Quantity 40 -40

The data for the Inventory Transaction Financial Records is populated from the purchase order lines.

Accrual Journals

Description and Capital Equipment type purchase order lines can be created with or without an item master. The following table shows which General Ledger account is used when the purchase order line is received:

Item Master on Purchase Order Line? GL Account on Purchase Order Line? ITFR - Expenses ITFR - Accrued Purchases
No Yes GL account on PO line FFA GL account mapping
No No FFA GL account mapping FFA GL account mapping
Yes Yes GL account on PO line FFA GL account mapping
Yes No GL account mapping from the Product Purchase Analysis Account for the Item Master on the Purchase Order Line FFA GL Account mapping

Disabling Accrual Transactions

When an AP voucher associated with a purchase order line is fully matched, accrual transactions are disabled so there are no unnecessary accrual ITPRClosed Inventory Transaction Perpetual Record. Historical records that allow you to track transaction history arising from acquiring, managing and selling inventory items.

When a purchase order line is partially matched, accrual transactions will be created only for the unmatched quantity. This ensures the accounting entries are an accurate reflection of the purchases.

The system only creates new transactions for AP vouchers that have not yet been matched.

For example, if 5 purchase order lines are received but only 3 are matched, 2 ITPRs and 4 ITFRs are created for the 2 lines that are not matched. The quantity of items assigned to each line will not influence the number of transactions created for items that are not serial number or lot number controlled.

Serial number controlled and lot controlled quantities are split into different receipt lines during the receipt phase. How the quantities are split will determine the number of transactions created for the receipt lines remaining unmatched.

Serial Number Control

A separate receipt line is created each serial controlled item that is received. The quantity of transactions created is therefore different for serial number controlled items, unless the original purchase order has only 1 line and a line item quantity of 1. 1 ITPR and 2 ITFRs are created for each item that is subject to serial number control to reflect the number of unmatched AP voucher lines.

Lot Number Control

The quantity of transactions created for lot number controlled items also varies depending on how the total quantity of lot number controlled items is divided between the lots created when lot controlled items are received.

A new Receipt Line is created for each lot number when the purchase order is received. The lot number split is configured for each purchase order line immediately after the purchase order receipt is saved. The lot numbers and associated quantity details are always required when a purchase order line item is lot number controlled.

For example, a purchase order line with 12 lot controlled items divided into 3 lots will generate 3 ITPRs and 6 ITFRs if the associated AP voucher is not matched.

More than one AP voucher can be created for a single purchase order. Subsequent AP vouchers will display the remaining quantities to voucher.

Serial and Lot Number Controlled Tracking

To enable accurate tracking, the following fields display on each of the ITPRs created:

The functionality ensures continued item tracking is available for serial number and lot number controlled items.

Crediting or Voiding AP vouchers

When an AP voucher with Description or Capital Equipment purchase order line types is credited or voided, financial transactions are created to reflect this to ensure the credit and void actions are accounted for correctly.

The following tables show how the financial transactions are recorded between the receipt of a description or capital equipment purchase order line and the credit or void action of the associated AP voucher.
