How to change GL account in A/P Invoice?

Question

Hi All,
While crreating A/P invoice, how can i change the g/l account? I have checked in the form settings and the form is active and visible. But when i try to click on it, it does not work!!
Also, if i change the gl in grpo, the je that is passed is incorrect!! I also tried to set the gl through form settings but it just does not work.
Can anyone please tell me how this can be done.?
I am using SAP B1 2005B, PL34.
Thanks in advance,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
this would entail changing the control account on the item group level every time the item enters stock. I would not recommend to do that, it's far too error prone.
Within the structure of how the core application works, I honestly do not see another workaround but to create another itemcode with a different account determination. You might be able to interleave the 2 items as alternative items to one another.
You could explore whether there was a way to set up an sdk solution that triggers an automatic journal to be posted from the local procurement item stock account to the imported item stock account which could be initiated if the BP in the document is a particular code.
In a nutshell:
Item x is received from foreign vendor ABC
AP invoice creates JE where stock increase is posted to 'local' stock account.
SDK sees that vendor is ABC & automatically creates a journal entry that takes the amount from the 'local' stock account & posts it to the 'foreign' stock account.
All the best,
