Item Group setup for Expense Clearing

[Former Member]

I tried to use AP control account (USD-local currency) but the window pop-up can not locate this GL account that I setup in COA already, why? I can use another AP payable to specific account like Payable to Duty & Freight but I would rather to use AP control account for not inventory related expenses.

All clearing accounts include this Expense Clearing account are temporary accounts. They are there to help you organize your book better.

If I have to create another AP not control expense account then the AP aging will include all payable no matter this is under AP control account or not?

I post NOT Inventory related payable (Inventory related post to PO Clearing) to AP control account ONLY then AP aging will include all other payables. If I HAVE TO use two payable accounts in AP then what's the benefit for doing this way?

For not inventory related expenses, it can only be posted to non control Expenditure type account. That is why some CoA may not display.

Thanks,
