Item posting (form)
Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
Click Inventory management > Setup > Inventory > Item groups. Click Posting.
Use this form to set up ledger account numbers for the automatic ledger transactions that are generated for receipt and for issue transactions in the inventory.
Set up account numbers as needed on one or more of the following: Sales order, Purchase order, Inventory, Production, and Standard cost variance tabs. Each tab contains several account types, and for each account type, you must specify which account in your own chart of accounts that you want to use. If you have created an item group in the Item groups form with corresponding posting, that posting will automatically appear here with the item group as a reference.
You can use either posting profiles or posting definitions to set up the account numbers for offset accounts. Each posting profile is associated with only one offset account. Posting definitions can be associated with multiple offset accounts. For more information, see About fixed asset posting profiles and About posting definitions.
Note
Only the relevant tabs appear when you click Setup, and then Item posting from the Customer groups form (Accounts receivable) or Vendor groups form (Accounts payable or Procurement and sourcing).
Tip
We strongly recommend that you thoroughly test the actual posting in the ledger for all the combinations set up before going live.
