Troubleshooting

Inventory accounting using Method A can be considered the standard accounting method.

In brief, Method A means that purchased inventory is first posted to the relevant balance sheet account and only reaches expenses through issue slips at the time of consumption. Detailed guides describing Method A are freely available on the internet.

The opposite is Method B, in which the purchase of inventory is posted directly to consumption — to accounts 501 and 504. Costs therefore enter the accounting records solely through received invoices.

Only one accounting method can be used for all warehouses — either Method A or Method B exclusively.

A guide for inventory accounting using Method B is also available.

In the company settings, under the "Goods" tab, you will find the Post warehouse to accounting option. As with other company setting changes, you can create a new configuration that takes effect from a specific date.

Company settings can be accessed from the top-right corner of the application, under your user icon.

If this option is checked, inventory is accounted for using Method A (the default state). If it is unchecked, inventory is accounted for using Method B.

Once this option is checked, the warehouse will be posted to the accounting records. This means that accounting warehouse document types are used.

Accounting warehouse document types — that is, the warehouse document types used when accounting for inventory using Method A — are identified by the Document is accounting field.

Documents created with a document type marked as accounting are included in the accounting records. They therefore affect both the accounting records and the warehouse stock levels.

If Method A accounting is active, it is not possible to work with non-accounting warehouse document types, and vice versa.

For such documents, it is possible (and indeed necessary) to define a posting rule on the Specification tab;

as well as the actual posting configuration on the Accounting tab.

If the details mentioned above are filled in (e.g. as shown in the screenshot above), the corresponding value will be reflected in the relevant accounts. You can observe this, among other places, in the accounting journal.

Warehouse documents can be generated automatically directly from invoices. Automatic generation from invoices depends on the invoice type settings — for both issued and received invoices. By default, automatic generation of warehouse documents is enabled.

More information about document type settings can be found in our guide.

Within the invoice type, you can easily define the warehouse document type that will be automatically generated from it. When using Method A, set an accounting warehouse document type here.

In connection with the settings described above, you may encounter the following error: "Neshoduje se parametr Účetní u typu dokladu s nastavením skladu.".

This means that the warehouse document type does not match the company settings. Either you are posting the warehouse to the accounting records (Method A) and the warehouse document type is set as non-accounting, or conversely, you are not posting the warehouse to the accounting records (Method B) and the warehouse document type is set as accounting.

The solution is to align the settings:
