The Accrued Purchase Receipts account is created by Acctivate as a purchase suspense account. This is so that Acctivate and receive and invoice purchase orders separately.

Warehouse Inventory Systems manage warehouse & inventory transactions accurately and accommodate specific situations, including that of receipts for accrued purchases.

The Accrued Purchase Receipts account is created by Acctivate as a purchase suspense account. When you post an inventory receipt, Acctivate will utilize the Inventory and Purchases GL account specified on the Warehouse.
