1. Entering Receivings and Withdrawals
The IC Receivings/Withdrawals window is primarily used to:
- Make adjustments to inventory levels
- Enter the opening inventory level balances
A Receiving will increase the levels of inventory and a Withdrawal will decrease inventory levels.
A General Ledger distribution is automatically created when a receiving or withdrawal is saved. The accounts used are those that are entered in the Company Defaults and Inventory Control Defaults setup.
| Receiving | Withdrawal |
|---|---|
| DR Inventory Asset | DR Cost of Goods* (or whichever account is specified in the I/C Defaults setup screen) |
| CR Inventory Clearing | CR Inventory Asset |
*Depending on the setting in the IC Defaults, this account can be designated and then overwritten on a specific withdrawal entry.
