Reproducing the Issue
-

-
Go to the Invoice Entry view
-
Select the query All Orders to be Invoiced
-
Select the relevant Purchase Order and select New Invoice button
-
Navigate to Items tab and sub tab Cost Distribution
-
You don't find options to select the G/L account
Cause
Purchase Order is a To-Stock order and here the G/L accounts for business transactions are determined automatically. When you record a supplier invoice for a purchase order, you enter the purchase order as a reference. An account determination group is stored in the master data of the material specified in the purchase order. The G/L account is then derived from the account determination group
The system selects the G/L accounts based on the master data, the account determination group, and the account determination profile. The account determination groups are derived from the master data in the business transaction. This account determination group allows you to group stocks for stock materials and to post them to the same accounts
In To-Stock Orders, the account assignment tab will not be present and you cannot select any of the account assignments since the account determination happens based on product master. Hence when you create new invoice, in the cost distribution tab you see only the references of Inbound Delivery and you cannot see any other assignments
Resolution
It is not possible to add G/L accounts in case of To-Stock scenario.
