Analysis of GR/IR Clearing Accounts: Entering Material Orders 

Use

As an additional closing procedure, you have to analyze the invoices and the goods received.

For more information about this analysis, see .

In this process, you create a purchase order in Materials Management for a purchase from a known supplier of the IDES Company. You then enter the goods receipt. We assume that no invoice has yet been received for the delivery at the time you create financial statements. For this reason, an adjustment for the amount not yet delivered is calculated during the analysis of the GR/IR clearing account and then posted.
