DMR and Inspection Processing GL entries

We just started using the whole Nonconformance, Inspection Processing, DMR process in Epicor this month. I noticed that the inventory movements for these processes get posted in the periodic posting which is fine. The problem is the nonconformance start on March 1st which credits the inventory account. The Debit does not happen until action has been taken place with the DMR which could be a days later, March 3rd. Now I have unbalanced periodic postings for the 1st and 3rd and cannot successfully run the COS process.

Any ideas on how to fix this so the GL postings happen the same day. Is it possible that these processes all have to happen same day?

I have to admit that I didn’t set up our system so this is mostly reverse-engineered, but check your Part Class GL Controls to make sure you have the Inspection and DMR accounts filled in (EDIT: The Inventory, COS and WIP GL Control Type also has these accounts available to fill in as defaults if the Part Class isn’t selected). Each transaction should create two Journal entries, and any parts that were sent to inspection but not yet processed through DMR should sit in the interim account.


The Inventory Transaction Hierarchy Technical Reference Guide is a good document to see how each transaction determines which accounts to debit/credit. If multiple controls can determine the accounts, it will show you how the hierarchy works.
