Costing Accounts


When we post purchase and sale transactions the cost of an article/Item, the costing effect will go to various accounts in G/L if "Expected Cost Posting" & "Automatic Cost Posting" is true in inventory setup.


The following procedure will illustrate you which account system will pick for what transaction.


PURCHASE:
GRN/MIR (Goods Receipt Note/ Material Inward Receipt)
    Invt. Accrual Acc. (Interim) - Cr
    Inventory Interim - Dr

Invoice (Purchase Invoice)
    Invt. Accrual Acc. (Interim) - Dr
    Inventory Interim - Cr
    Direct Cost Applied - Cr
    Stock A/C- Dr

(Note: If you use the option "Receive and Invoice" then Expected costing 
          accounts will not effect)

SALES:

DC/SHIP (Delivery Note)

    Cost of Goods Sold (Interim) - Dr

    Inventory Interim - Cr

Invoice (Sales Invoice)

    Cost of Goods Sold (Interim) - Cr

    Inventory Interim - Dr

    Stock A/C- Cr

(Note: If you use the option "Ship and Invoice" then Expected costing 
          accounts will not effect)

G/L Account Where - Used List?


Sometimes the transactions are posting to wrong accounts that we cannot identify from where system is picking up that account or where we tagged?

MS Navision has function called "Where-Used List". This function will show where the selected G/L account has been used.


Chart of Accounts -->Account (Menu) --> Where-Used List


See the following e.g :
I want see where my "Sales, Retail - Dom." has been used. See the following. I have selected G/L account then applied where - used list button

Output is :

Creates Line No. automatically for new record

Navision can automatically assign Line No. to a new record if the Line No. is part of the primary key fields. This can be done by setting the AutoSplitKey property in the Form to Yes. By default the AutoSplitKey property is set to No.

Let's consider the following example. When I enter a new sales line record in Sales Order form, Navision will automatically assign Line No. = 10000 to the first Sales Line record. Now, if I enter the 2nd Sales Line record, Navision will automatically assign Line No. = 20000 to the new record. If I insert a new record between the 1st and 2nd record, Navision will automatically assign Line No. = 15000 to the new record.

All this can happen because Autosplitkey property in Form 46 - Sales Line is set to Yes. In order for AutoSplitKey feature to work, the last field in the primary key must be an integer, BigInteger, GUIDor decimal field. If you look at the Sale Line table, the Primary key is 'Document Type,Document No.,Line No.', where Line No. is an integer field.

Gen. Posting Type must be Specified when posting journal entries.


When you try to post a journal entry to selected G/L Account, the following error message prompt up:

Gen. Posting Type must be specified.

This problem occurs because you have specified Gen. Prod. Posting Group for the G/L Account selected. To solve this problem, you can either:

1) Remove the Gen. Product Posting Group from the journal lines

OR

2) Remove the Gen. Product Posting Group from the G/L Account Card and then reselect the G/L Account in Journal lines.
