We purchased goods, released the PO receipt, and created and paid the AP bill. Two months later, the vendor offered a discount on those items.
We’d like to enter this credit in Acumatica so that it updates the inventory cost for the specific stock items that were purchased, rather than booking it to a GL expense account. Since Acumatica does not allow selecting a stock item in a debit adjustment transaction, what is the best way to enter this with the correct posting?
Hi
I think you can handle this in two steps. First, do an Inventory Adjustment to lower the cost of the items. Then, create an AP Debit Adjustment.
This way, the inventory cost gets updated and the vendor credit is recorded without hitting expense accounts.
Hey
In this scenario, the most appropriate approach is typically to enter a Vendor Debit Adjustment but reference the original receipt line so the system can adjust the inventory cost rather than posting the credit to a GL expense account. Although you cannot manually select a stock item directly on a debit adjustment, you can link the adjustment to the original PO receipt by using the Add PO Receipt Line functionality.
This ties the credit back to the inventory transaction, allowing Acumatica to reduce the item’s cost and adjust the inventory valuation accordingly. If the inventory has already been partially or fully issued, the system will split the impact between Inventory (remaining quantity) and COGS (for quantities already sold) based on the current costing method. This preserves proper cost flow and keeps the adjustment associated with the specific items that were originally purchased.
