Raising Purchase Order - Direct Ledger Posting

CJBeattie

I understand that item groups define the ledger postings for purchasing an item, whether it is of type service (non-stocked item) or a physical item. However this would require many item groups being set up, due to the number of accounts PO's are currenly raised against.

Scenario: - Item = computer, item group = computers

When purchasing the computer for non project related activity, upon delivery note, the ledger accounts set up on the item group receive transactions.

However, when purchasing the computer from a project, it is required that a different ledger account be hit upon receiving the item. As standard I believe that this is at the invoicing stage.

Is there a way to enter the ledger account on the purchase line to be hit upon delivery note stage? I have looked at the setup tab on the line and entered a ledger account in there, but it only seems to take effect upon invoice updating.

Any help on this would be hugely appreciated....
