Nicely explained.....thanks
Paul,
Hope this explanation helps - think about what you are truly purchasing - you aren't buying Work-In-Process, you are buying material for a job, you are just skipping the "bring it into inventory, issue to a job" step. It is still material until that job gets started. If the job was cancelled, you'd still have "material" - you could put it into inventory or you could return it to vendor, but it is material. After the job is started and transactions are entered, the system makes the changes to take it from material to WIP.

Subject: RE: [Vantage] Another question G\L Accounts
If I have a split PO, material going to inventory and material going to a job I create a line release for the inventory and then I create a line release for the job. When I go to the PO tracker and review my PO everything is correct but my PO states the GL\Accounts are all the same. My material going to inventory has the correct G\L account but my material going to the job has the incorrect G\L account. Should it not be picking up the WIP G\L account number? Still confused.
Paul,
Correct, there is no need to change anything. The setup should all be done
in the control accounts and Vantage uses the specific accounts based on
transaction type, PUR-STK vs. PUR-MTL in this case.

Subject: RE: [Vantage] G\L Accounts
So help me here.... I specify a G\L account via part class when I order that
material to inventory that is the account used (logically it should be our
inventory G\L number). If I order the material to a job I need not change
the G\L account Vantage will use the G\L account specified for WIP. Is this
correct?
The G/L coding is done via the Part Class when purchased to inventory. If
you are purchasing to WIP then the WIP account setup in the Company Config
takes precedence.
I think there is a section in the help called G/L Account Hierarchy that
explains the process.

Subject: [Vantage] G\L Accounts
Trying to figure out how vantage 6 assigns G\L account number when you
purchase material via PO entry. We have our control accounts set up and I
would assume that when I order material to inventory the G\L account used
should be inventory. When I order material for a job the G\L account should
be WIP G\L account. When entering information in PO line entry you have the
option to choose (Inventory/Other) (Material) and (Sub\Contract Operation)
when I click each option I would assume that the corresponding G\L number
would change, but they do not. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.
