# GL Acct for Buy to Order defaulting to Inventory Acct **Category:** [Epicor ERP 10](https://www.epiusers.help/c/e10/5) **Created:** 2017-01-18 20:46 UTC **Views:** 929 **Replies:** 2 **URL:** https://www.epiusers.help/t/gl-acct-for-buy-to-order-defaulting-to-inventory-acct/36944 --- ## Post #1 by @ckrusen When a PO is created for an item designated as "Buy To Order" on the sales order, the GL Account on the PO Release is defaulting to our Inventory Acct (1151-00-01). According to the Help text ... We don't have any GLC's setup for Part Classes, and the Part Class on the PO Line is blank, so condition 1 should not apply. We don't have any GLC's setup for Suppliers, so neither 2 nor 3 apply. The AP Account GLC in the Company Configuration specifies account (1154-00-01). Not the Inventory Acct (1151-00-01). Shouldn't the GL Acct in the PO Relese default to this account (1154), and not Inventory(1151)? When I run the WIP/Recon Report, receipts of these Buy to Order items hit Inventory account(1151), and not the specified account(1154). --- ## Post #2 by @amaragni I believe IF the BUY-To-Order - is for a NON-STOCK part/on-the-fly part the system still use the EXPENSE Element as indicated in the OTHER type .. however if the part is a STOCKED item - which happens to be BTO on this transactions, i guess the system treats it as an inventory purchase. but that is only a guess - i havent tested --- ## Post #3 by @ckrusen First off, a stocked part (Qty Bearing = Y) will ALWAYS be a purchase type of "To Inventory". The Part Class field becomes disabled (so you cant change it), And the GL Acct fields become disabled. To Invnetory will always use the following: I did some testing and it looks like I will be making a Part Class "Buy To Order/WIP", create a GLC, and set it's EXPENSE context to our WIP account. Purchasing will just have to remember to set the part class to "Buy To Order". Maybe a BPM is in order.... --- **Canonical:** https://www.epiusers.help/t/gl-acct-for-buy-to-order-defaulting-to-inventory-acct/36944 **Original content:** https://www.epiusers.help/t/gl-acct-for-buy-to-order-defaulting-to-inventory-acct/36944
