Unbilled Purchase
When Unbilled Purchase is enabled in the main tab, the system initially records the timecard, and then the system calculates the cost using hours × PO rate and posts it to the Unbilled Purchase GL account. This is a separate general ledger account from the standard Trade Payables GL account.
The entry is recorded as an expense (Dr) with a corresponding credit (Cr) to Unbilled Purchase. The cost is recognized in the accounts, but it is not yet treated as an actual supplier payable because the invoice has not been received., But it remains in the Unbilled Purchase account until the supplier invoice is received, after which it is transferred to the standard payables account.
Dr: Expense
Cr: Unbilled Purchase
The cost is recognized in the accounts, but it is not yet treated as an actual supplier payable because the invoice has not been received.
The Unbilled Purchase account functions similarly to Trade Payables, but it is maintained as a separate interim account for expected invoices. Once the supplier’s invoice arrives, the amount is moved from Unbilled Purchase to the regular Trade Payables account, making it an official liability.
Later, when Invoice Received is created, the system :Moves moves the amount from Unbilled Purchase to Payable
Dr: Unbilled Purchase (to clear it)Purchase
