INFORmative Friday: Inventory Transactions Impacting the GL
Friday, February 17th at 1:00 pm (Eastern)

Understanding where, from a setup perspective, this accounting information is defaulting, along with our recommendations will assist you in a review of your own setup and configuration and how several types of inventory transactions occur.
In this session, you will learn:
- All the setup fields where accounting information can default from in Inventory Transactions
- Understand Variance Reasons
- Review the specific type of Inventory Transactions that affect the GL
- Review the T-Accounts from different types of Transactions
