Set up an accrual account for items received without a vendor bill
When you record a purchase for items received without a bill, you need to allocate the anticipated purchase amount to an accounts payable or inventory accrual account.
If the account does not exist, you need to create it. The account should be a liability account named, for example, AP Accrual - Inventory. For information on creating an account, see Set up accounts.
Before you can allocate transactions to this account, you need to make it the default linked account for items received without a vendor bill.
