We are just getting set up with the Purchase Order Module. Each line item needs to be distributed. What is the typical account that is credited? When invoices are entered, we credit the Accounts Payable, should we use the same account for Purchase Orders or create a new account?

Marlana We set up an encumbrance account that all purchase orders are posted to. Once the purchase orders are receipted and invoiced then the transaction is posted to Accounts Payable. A purchase order by its nature is not a payable so I believe you may want to consider setting up a similar account.
