Posting Accounts in Dynamics AX2009

About sales order posting
Use the Inventory posting form to control the following sales order posting accounts:
· Packing slip
· Packing slip offset
· Issue
· Consumption
· Revenue
· Discount
· Commission
· Commission offset
· Packing slip revenue
· Packing slip revenue - offset
· Packing slip tax
When you create an order line (On order status), an inventory transaction is generated with the quantity specified, but without any financial value.
When you update the packing slip for the item (Deducted status), transactions based on the items cost at the time the packing slip is updated are generated in the packing slip account, and the packing slip offset account, in connection with the packing slip update.
In order for the posting to occur, you must select two setup check boxes:
1. Post physical inventory (Inventory management > Setup > Inventory > Inventory model groups > Setup tab).
2. Post packing slip in ledger (Accounts receivable > Setup > Parameters > Updates tab).
When you invoice-update (Sold status) the item, the two packing slip transactions are reversed. The items cost is credited to the account for inventory issues, and the account for item consumption is debited.
The item sale, excluding any taxes, such as sales tax, is credited to the revenue account. Tax is credits to the tax codes account. The sale, including any taxes such as sales tax, is debited from the customer summary account as set up in the customer's posting profile.
· For Discount, the sales order is posted before the line discount is deducted, and the line discount is debited in the account for discounts. If no account is specified for discounts, the revenue is posted after the line discount is deducted, and the latter is not recorded directly in a ledger account.
· For Commission, a commission account, and a commission offset account are created. These accounts provide an overview of the ledger-posting of commissions. When you invoice-update a sales order, the commission on the posted amount is debited from the commission account and credited to the commission offset account.

About purchase order posting
By using the Inventory posting form, you can control the following purchase order posting accounts:
· Packing slip
· Packing slip offset
· Receipt
· Consumption
· Discount
· Fixed receipt price profit
· Fixed receipt price loss
· Fixed receipt price offset
· Charge
· Stock variation
· Packing slip purchase
· Packing slip purchase offset
· Packing slip tax
· Fixed asset receipt
When you create a purchase line (Ordered status), an inventory transaction is generated with the quantity specified, but without any financial value.
When the item is received (Received status), transactions based on the items' cost as recorded in the purchase line are generated in the packing slip account, and the same transactions are reflected in the packing slip offset account for the packing slip update.
For the posting to occur, you must select two setup check boxes:
1. Post physical inventory (Inventory management > Setup, Inventory > Inventory model groups > Setup tab).
2. Post packing slip in ledger (Accounts receivable > Setup > Parameters > Updates tab).
When you update the invoice for the item (Purchased status), the two packing slip transactions are reversed. For an item not using standard cost, the item's true cost is debited from the inventory receipt account. Any tax is debited in the tax code account, and item purchases, including tax, are credited to the vendor summary account according to the setup in the supplier's posting profile.
For items with a standard cost, transactions are made based on the standard cost specified in the Price field on the Price/Discount tab on the Inventory table. The difference between the real cost and the standard cost is posted in the standard accounts for gains and losses.
If an account for discounts is indicated, the purchase posts before the line discount is deducted, and the line discount will be credited in the separate account for discounts. If you do not specify an account for the line discount, the inventory receipt is posted after the line discount is deducted, and the latter is not recorded directly in a ledger account.
To specify that a purchase is for the internal use of a fixed asset, use the Fixed asset receipt option.

About inventory posting
Microsoft Dynamics AX provides control over the following inventory posting accounts:
· Fixed receipt price profit
· Fixed receipt price loss
· Issue
· Loss
· Receipt
· Profit
· Fixed asset issue
You can generate transactions for inventory profits and losses when you record transactions in the inventory, for example, in a profit/loss journal. For inventory profits, the receipts account is debited, and the account for inventory gains is credited. For inventory losses, the issues account is credited and the account for inventory gains is debited.

About production posting
Production posting activities follow the production process.
· As items are consumed during production they are recorded in the production order. This process generates issue transactions to make up for the missing raw materials.
· As the materials are consumed, they are posted to both the Picking list issue account and the Picking list offset account.
When the production is reported as finished, a receipt transaction is posted to the finished item. The cost calculated for the finished item is then posted to both the Report as finished receipt account and the Reported as finished offset account.
Finally, when production is complete, all accounts are updated with the final calculations. The raw materials that were actually consumed are credited to the account tracking inventory issues and debited from the account tracking item consumption. The overall cost of the finished item is debited from the inventory Receipt account and credited to the inventory Issues account.
