Inventory items for maintenance module

We are looking to start up a Maintenance item stocking program.

 

We do not want to carry the value, so we will set these to STD costing and at $0 and want the items to go to expense at time of receipt.

 

What we are seeing is what we expected.

When the PO is received in, the system adds the cost to inventory.  Its then doing an auto adjustment using “ADJ-CST” and moving the costs out to expense… we want it to expense, but instead of going to the actual maintenance parts expense account we created, the system is saying this is a normal inventory adjustment and moving this to our inventory adjustment account instead.

 

We are not sure if this behavior can be modified with a posting rule or if a method/data directive would work.

You can change the “Inventory” account the part or group of parts go into by changing the Part Class for those parts.  The Inventory/Expense account number can be set to the Maint Exp account number in the GL Control Code for the new Part Class.
