Non-Integrated Scenarios

Kevin is responsible for an invoice from a company car, but the situation is more complicated than that. Start the video below to see what happened.

Lisette tells Kevin to use the Post Asset Acquisition and Quantity Adjustment app. Let's have a look at how to correctly make use of the app.

Post an Acquisition and Analyze

Now it’s your turn. Help Kevin posting the company Car in the Post Asset Acquisition and Quantity Adjustment app.

Post Asset Balances Against Expense and Analyze

After checking the documents, Kevin realizes that the acquisition value of the company car is incorrect. The accessories of the company car (such as the new winter tires) were posted as an expense (travel costs account).

Kevin does not want to reverse the invoice document. Instead, he makes an adjustment posting. He posts asset balances against expense travel costs account. Therefore he needs to use the Post Asset Acquisition and Quantity Adjustment app. To prevent the clearing account from being determined automatically, he fills out the offsetting account field with the travel costs account.

Now it’s your turn. Help Kevin post the asset balances against expense in the Post Asset Acquisition and Quantity Adjustment app.

Credit Memos (Received)

The Bike Company has received a credit memo for the company car. Kevin wonders how the credit notes received can now be posted. Lisette explains to him that the right transaction type for the credit memo is crucial.

To enhance Kevin's understanding of the process, Lisette aims to demonstrate it directly within the system.

To follow Lisette’s explanation about the how to post the credit memo with the correct transaction type, follow her along the system by watching the following screencast.

In this example, Accounts Payable has already entered the credit memo. The following posting exists: Vendor on debit side against clearing account on credit side. Therefore, use the Post Asset Acquisition and Quantity Adjustment app.
