Accounting for inventory using Method B means that inventory purchases are posted directly to consumption, to accounts 501 and 504. Costs therefore enter the accounting records only through the received invoice.

In this respect, accounting using Method B is simpler than Method A. Detailed guides describing Method B are freely available on the internet.

Only one accounting method can be used for all warehouses, that is, either Method A only, or Method B only.

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

The settings of the Goods module include the option Post warehouse to accounting.

To open the settings, click Settings in the bottom left. In the Modules section, select Goods. As with other company settings changes, you can also create a new setting valid from a given date here by clicking the Save with validity from date button.

If the option is selected, inventory is accounted for using Method A (the default state). If it is cleared, inventory is accounted for using Method B.

When this option is not selected, the warehouse is not posted to accounting. This means that you can use non-accounting warehouse document types.

You can identify non-accounting warehouse documents by the Is accounting option on the Accounting tab of the warehouse document type (under More options). For a non-accounting type, it is not selected.

Create the non-accounting warehouse document type as a new one. For existing document types (e.g. STANDARD), the Is accounting option can no longer be changed. Open the Warehouse document types section and click New.

Enter the name and abbreviation of the type, clear the Is accounting checkbox under More options on the Accounting tab, and save the type by clicking Save and close.

Documents issued with a document type that is not marked as accounting do not enter the accounting records in any way. They therefore affect only the warehouse status.

If accounting using Method B is activated, you cannot work with accounting warehouse document types, and vice versa.

For such documents, you cannot set a posting template or any posting as such on the Accounting tab.

Warehouse documents can be generated automatically directly from invoices. Automatic generation from invoices depends on the settings of the issued and received invoice type. By default, automatic generation of warehouse documents is active (the Generate warehouse option on the Warehouse tab).

For more information about document type settings, see our guide.

In the invoice type, you can easily define the warehouse document type that will be generated from it automatically (the Receipt type and Issue type fields). If you use Method B, set a non-accounting warehouse document type here.

In connection with the settings above, you may encounter the 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 post the warehouse to accounting (Method A) and the warehouse document type is set as non-accounting, or you do not post the warehouse to accounting (Method B) and the warehouse document type is set as accounting.

The solution is to make the settings consistent:
