Purchase Accrual Account

Our Purchase Accrual Account shows a credit balance in the Balance Sheet, we're not sure why but believe this account should be cleared. How do we do that?

When you receive goods that were ordered, you enter the relevant transaction in module Stock>>Good Received Register, with the following Nominal Ledger transaction (Debit - Inventory / Stock Control; Credit - Purchase Accrual Account).

In raising the Purchase Invoice for these goods, your Purchase Accrual Account with get debited and your Cash / Creditors Account in your Nominal Ledger credited.

The Purchase Accrual Accounts is actually only a Holding Account that will automatically be cleared when you send out the relevant Purchase Invoices, this being probably the most likely answer to your query.
