Discrepancy Between Purchase and Direct Cost Applied
In school we where told that when you invoice (voucher) received inventory you get a debit transaction against the inventory account and a credit transaction against the accounts payable. Well, in Microsoft Dynamics NAV you also get two transactions in the P&L, a debit against the purchase account and a credit against the direct cost applied account. What are those used for? Wouldn’t they always be the same and net each-other out? Not necessarily. There is a special case to consider where the two transactions in the P&L are not the same and therefore a discrepancy between the two accounts will occur....
