How the expense recognized in the secondary ledger(Cash Basis)at the payment time for PO inventory
We have a setup where:
The primary ledger is using the accrual basis with encumbrance enabled, and
The secondary ledger is using the cash basis (standard cash).
We are using “Accrue inventory items at Receipt” in the primary ledger as this is the only option, so for the PO inventory items, the expense account is hit at the receipt level, and the AP Accrual account is used during invoice creation.
However, when journal entries are transferred to the secondary ledger, we are observing the following accounting entries:
At Receipt:
Dr. Expense (Actual)
Cr. AP Accrual
------------------------------------------------
At Payment:
Dr. AP Accrual
