Charge Account Details
Charge Account is to be used as the account to be hit when the item is received.
# If it is an inventory item, then the destination sub inventory's material valuation accounts need to be hit.
Hence it is not allowed to modify the charge account for an inventory destination in a PR/PO.
In other words, modifying the charge account makes sense if it is an expense destination item ... i.e. not delivered
to a sub inventory, but to a person.
Centralized Procurement:
If you utilize the centralized procurement functionality, the Account Generator will also create two new accounts
to record accounting transactions between theprocuring organization and the destination organization: the
destination charge account and the destination variance account. These accounts will be created andused only
when the destination organization is in a different operating unit than the Procuring organization, and there is a
transaction flow defined between the twoorganizations. (Note that if the two operating units are in different sets
of books, there must be a transaction flow defined.) For example: In the centralizedprocurement scenario a user
may create a purchase order in one operating unit, but require shipment to a different operating unit. In this case,
there will be anaccounting transaction (created at the time of receipt of goods) to record the transfer of ownership
between the two organizations (operating units). If theseaccounts are not required they will be not be built
For Inventory charge account construction, the Account Generator further distinguishes between asset and
expense purchases based on the item andsubinventory that you provide for the distribution. If you select an
expense item, the Account Generator disregards the subinventory and builds an expense chargeaccount. If you
select an asset item, the Account Generator evaluates the subinventory to decide whether to build an expense or
asset charge account.
