Manage actual costs posted to general ledger entries

When posting purchase order lines associated with actual cost trade plans with the G/L Account (Actual) field value defined on the Trade Plan Card page, the system posts G/L entries to the G/L account and balance G/L account and creates an entry on the Trade Accrual Entries (Interim) page with the G/L account specified in the G/L Account (Actual) field on the Trade Plan Card page.

You can then get the trade accrual entry in a purchase invoice and post it. For more information, see Get trade accrual entries. When the purchase invoice is posted, the system creates negative G/L entries to reverse the originally posted G/L entries and creates a new entry with the actual G/L account for the actual costs defined in the purchase invoice lines on the General Ledger Entries page.
