Preventing Future Transactions from Posting to Expense Valuation Structure

Summary:

Hi Experts,

We recently had a requirement where we needed to nullify the balances in the Expense valuation structure and transfer them to the Asset valuation structure.
We achieved this by issuing out the item quantities while setting the Inventory Asset Value to No and then performing receipts after changing the Inventory Asset Value to Yes.

I would like to understand if there is a way to prevent such a situation from occurring again in the future — specifically, ensuring that all relevant transactions are consistently posted to the Asset valuation structure and not to Expense.

Could you please advise on any system settings, controls, or process changes that could help enforce this?
