Processing GRN on Pastel Accounting

[HJVW]

Still, why does it show up on my Trial balance if my inventory is not integrated. There are times when an order is not fulfilled, and there are times when a GN is issued without an order. I can understand that an item is raised on the tb if a gn is not processed to an invoice because stock is brought in, but an order by itself does not affect the stock.

A Purchase Order does not generate any accounting entries, but a GRN that is linked to a PO will always generate accounting entries, whether or not Inventory is integrated to your GL.

If Inventory is integrated, a GRN will debit Inventory Control and credit GRN Accruals, but if Inventory is not integrated, a GRN will debit Cost of Sales/Purchases and credit GRN Accruals.

It is also possible to create a GRN without having first created a PO.
