>  What determines the GL effect when a PO Receipt is completed?

1. You take a look at what inventory transaction you use for doing PO
Receipts.
I think we use a "U" when the inventory shows up & a "C" when the invoice for
it comes from the vendor.

2. Go into INV355 and look at the bottom of the screen for the inventory
transactions you are using to see what GL effect has been setup for this.

You can have inventory transactions that are invisible to General Ledger.
For example, do you want to bother the GL with mere transfers from one
physical location to another?

You might pick the very first transaction effect to look at.
Glue your eyes to the GL area of the data, then scroll through screens of all
the different transaction effects, keeping your eyes glued to the GL area, so
you can rapidly see which transaction types, if any, are invisible to GL for
your company.

WARNING WARNING WARNING

This is a type of information, like SYS800 that should not be altered,
without consultation with all of top management, because if you do not
understand all of the consequences, it is really healthy to spread around the
blame, and to reduce the damage ... something goes wrong & people know what
was changed that might have caused that.

I think there is something in the BPCS_L archives about this.  We had a
problem several years ago with someone changing inventory transactions to GL
from summary to detail without splitting up the types of journal entries,
leading to us running out of GL batches.  BPCS_L helped us resolve that mess.

Search on Transaction Effects.
