Setting up an accrual account for items received without a supplier invoice

When you record items received without a supplier invoice, you need to allocate the anticipated purchase amount to a creditors accrual account.

If the account does not exist, you need to create it. The account should be a liability account named, for example, Trade Creditors Accrual - Stock. For information on creating an account, see Set up accounts.

Before you can allocate transactions to this account, you need to make it the default linked account for items received without a supplier invoice.
