Summary :
When goods receipts are processed for purchase order items, the stock account is debited, and an offsetting entry is made to the GR/IR clearing account. This clearing account is later offset by the invoice posting. The settings for the posting of an invoice depend on factors such as the price control method in the material master, the purchase order history, and the invoice details. For average price materials, price differences are adjusted directly in the stock account. For standard price materials, differences are allocated between the stock and price differences accounts. Cases vary based on the relationship between goods received and invoice quantities.
