Effect of Automatic cost post check mark in Inventory setup

thinafans

Dear All,

I have a doubt. I posted 2 purchase invoices with and without check mark in Automatic cost posting.

1 st Trial:
Automatic cost posting =un check
Expected cost posting = check marke

cost updation I executed = Cost post to G/L and Aduct cost item entries batch job

2 nd Trial:

Automatic cost posting = check marked
Expected cost posting = check marked

cost updation I didn't executed any batch job

I didn't find any difference in the G/L entries. Some of the Nav Consultant are saying that If i check mark it will be generating some extra lines in the G/L.

Only the different is I no need to run Cost post to G/L batch job.

Can you pls explain me, to which G/L account this entries are going to posted ?

Regards,

THINA

Automatic cost posting posts the inventory costs to the G/L immediately the PI is posted. You don't, normally, have to run the Post inventory costs to G/L report after this.

With it turned off the costs are batched up for the next time you run the Post inventory costs to G/L report.

If nothing happens while the batch is waiting, the postings will be exactly the same.
If changes occur between the PI postings and the G/L batch it is possible that multiple records in the batch will be added together to form a single G/L posting record. For most companies the differences are slight, but sometimes it can half the number of records posted to the G/L.

I'm probably wrong with the following point but I think it will only make a difference with Purchase Orders where you get expected costs that are changed when the invoice arrives.

Posting manually has two options.

If you post per Value Entry then the results will be identical. But the second option allows you to compress G: Entries and this would be what your college mentioned. You will have an entry per posting group. If you post many similar items in a period, then you can have a significant number less of GL Entries.
