Inventory accounting using Method B means that inventory purchases are posted directly to consumption accounts — accounts 501 and 504. Costs therefore enter the accounting records only through received invoices.

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

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

A guide for inventory accounting using Method A 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 valid from a specific date.

You can access the company settings from the top-right corner of the application, under your user icon.

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

Once this option is unchecked, the warehouse will no longer be posted to accounting. This means that non-accounting warehouse document types become available for use.

You can identify non-accounting warehouse documents by the value of the Document is accounting field.

Documents created with a document type that is not marked as accounting have no effect on the accounting records whatsoever. They only affect the warehouse stock levels.

If Method B accounting is active, it is not possible to use accounting warehouse document types, and vice versa.

It is not possible to set a posting rule for such documents;

nor accounting entries as such on the Accounting tab.

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

For more information about document type settings, please refer to our guide.

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

In connection with the settings 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 accounting (Method A) and the warehouse document type is set as non-accounting, or conversely, you are not posting the warehouse to accounting (Method B) and the warehouse document type is set as accounting.

The solution is to align the settings:
