If the line item "Type" in a purchase order is "G/L Account" and you post its receipt prior to receiving its invoice, you cannot post the receipt to an A/P Accrual account.
This is the three-way matching process, where the Inventory account is debited and the A/P Accrual Clearing account is credited upon posting the purchase receipt. (The A/P Accrual Clearing account is debited and A/P is credited, when the invoice is received from the vendor a few days later.)
Again, this process cannot be conducted when the line item "Type" of the Purchase Order is "G/L Account". If the "Type" is "Item", three-way matching is indeed conducted.
A future release should include this functionality.

What is the status on this? It is a stupid but very annoying missing feature (and not a good publicity for the product).As part of this release it should be necessary however to make sure that a receipt can be cancelled with a posting date which is different from the original receipt (not possible today), otherwise there is a risk of changing accruals posted on a closed year/month.

THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS https://experience.dynamics.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=edeb50a1-818d-e911-80e7-0003ff68d305

Would also be good functionality to allow for Service and Non-Inventory type items.
