Enabling the SCM Indirect Procurement Feature
The SCM Indirect Procurement Feature Console feature configures FinancialForce SCM to use the Purchase Accruals functionality so that purchase order lines of type Description, Capital Equipment, and Category generate an inventory transaction perpetual record with two associated inventory transaction financial records. These records can be used to produce journals in Accounting. The transactions are generated in the following cases:
- When the purchaser order lines are received.
- When their related AP voucher is matched.
