Config for MIRO Offset posting possible?

Question

HI,
Does anyone know if its possible to change the GL account for the offset entry if for example Taxes was on on IR than was on GR? Currently the system uses the expense account used in the PO as the offset account. Can we use a tax liability account for the offset?
Thanks.

Answer 1

Your case is not Tax treatment but Price Control V-Moving average Versus Standard Price in the material master.
Moving Average
The difference between PO/GR and IR is only posted to Price difference account is when the stock quantity on hand is less than the quantity on IR. if the stock quantity on hand is more than the quantity on the IR, the price difference between PO and IR is always adjusted to Stock.
1. Posting GR at PO prices (Qty 100 Price $5)
    Stock                    500 (DR)
    GR/IR                                  500(CR)
2. Posting of Invoice Received but IR price differs from PO/GR (IR Qty 100 Price $7) Qty on hand > Qty on IR
Stock                       200(DR)   [($7 - $5) x 100]
GR/IR                       500(DR)
Vendor                                       700(CR)
2.  Posting IR ( assume goods issues were made,stock qty on hand is 20 at the time IR) Also the Invoice Price is $7. The total Price difference between PO/GR and IR is $200 ($7-$5= $2 x 100)
     GR/IR  account                     500(DR)
     Stock  account                       40(DR)           [stock qty on hand 20 x $2($7 - $5)]
     Price Difference  account    160(DR)           [IR qty not covered in stock qty on hand 80(100 -20) x ($7 -$5) 
     Vendor                                           700(CR)
Standard Price
The Price difference between PO/GR and IR is always posted to Price difference account.
Before you change the standard function make you go through the treament of Moving average versus Standard Price with the client. You might find that using Standard Price for some materials will achieve what you want.
Moving average as the name suggests the price keep moving/changing at PO/GR and IR depending on the stock quantity at hand.
