Receiving Items Without PO Posting

Receiving Items Without PO Posting

If you would like to have a payable bill created when you purchase something from a vendor, then you need to create a PO, receive it and then do Payables -> Purchasing -> Completed PO to AP. This will create credit entries in your AP GL account.

Receiving without a PO does not create entries in the AP GL account. AP GL account entries are only created when adding Vendor Bills (Payables -> Vendor Bills -> New Bill or through the Completed PO to AP process).

You can change the credit account after you receive without PO in Ledger -> Journal Entries -> Edit Journal Entries.

Your best bet if you want AP tracking is to create POs, receive and then convert to AP bills.
