Re: GR/IR Clearing
Process
Thank you very much Kevin.
I think there needs to exist a separation between the use cases of a logistic invoice that has been created in advance of a shipment, from a credit/debit memo.
The 3 way match process is closely related to the clearing of the GR/IR. IMHO each PO line is a 'Transaction' that should be reconciled by means of the 3 way match.
You post credits to a 'Transaction/PO Line' in the GR/IR account as you receive goods, resulting in a credit balance from PO line perspective.
You post debits to the PO line transactiom in the GR/IR account as you process the invoice, regardless of how was the invoice created.
The automatic/manual reconciliation process will attempt to rconcile debits & credits for the same transaction / po line.
With this approach you do not care if you use serialized products, if you invoice the whole order in advance or if you invoice based on PO lines. That is a choice not related to the clearing of the GR/IR account.
A debit/credit memo would not generate postings to the GR/IR account, but in order to do that there needs to be an indicator that an invoice IS a debit/credit memo, which is now missing.

have put V7 and V8 onto github at https://github.com/KevinMcMenamin?tab=repositories
in both cases we went down the path of overwriting core functions rather
than inheriting as too many things we wanted to change. I'll publish
V9 once I get a bit further.

Jordi: technically I can't argue with you, however functionally I think a reconciliation that cannot identify exact products on a po could be a problem.

Jon, I was thinking on maintainig the PO id (not PO line id), because that
would generally be a good enough reconciliation. In a single PO there can
be two items with the same amount, but does it really care if the reconciliation
is crossed between a GR of item 1 and IR of item 2? I guess that what you
want is to reconcile overall at PO level.
I fear that might be hard to move the PO line from po line -> invoice line -> account move line

Hello,
Find below some of my conclusions:
Account GR/IR (or GNRI) should normally stay low or zero, and the balance should reflect the transactions that are outstanding from the 3 way match perspective.
In order for the user to be able to analyze the status of this GL account, there should be the possibility to reconcile debits and credits of the same transaction, so that the remaining balance indicates the value of products that have been received, for which no invoice has been entered or viceversa.
If this reconciliation between transactions does not occur, it will be very hard to identify the causes of an existing balance in this GL account.
Reconciliation using manual process is now difficult due to the lack of information about the purchase order & line available in the journal items.
Existing automatic reconciliation tools in Odoo will only use the GL Account and Partner as the basis to reconcile debits and credits, which will not be enough to reconcile the full transaction.
In order to be able to reconcile this account the journal items should indicate the originating purchase order (and ideally the purchase order number as well).
The automatic reconciliation tools should be adjusted in order to incorporate the PO as criteria for the reconciliation process.
The automatic reconciliation tool then should allow the user to indicate that during the reconciliation the system should group debits and credits belonging to the same GL account, partner AND purchase order.

Thanks to all.
@Ray, I am familiar with ASA module. I use a modified version of it that we built ourselves.
As Kevin says, you quickly can end up with thousands of credits and debits in the GR/IR account and if it's out of balance it's impossible to tell why.
When you reconcile all debits and credits belonging to the same transaction you can better understand what is left to reconcile, and when there are discrepancies, you can further investigate.
What Kevin suggests seems to be the way to go. We also do the same thing, but still missing the report to assist the user in the reconciliation process.
The existing automatic reconciliation tool would not do that job at all, because it will match debits and credits with the same amount and partner, but the credit and debit may belong to different transactions. But if you have nothing else, perhaps it is a viable workaround..
At the end for the 3 way match process to be completed, you need full traceability in the transactions to allow users to be confident that what was received was invoiced.
Regards,
Jordi.

We have an automated process that does this in V7 and V8 (and will end
up migrating to V9. Otherwise you end up with 1000's of entries in the
clearing accounts and no simple way to work out what the balance is made
up of. A amnual process would only work with a very small customer.
Our version of anglo-saxon add the stock move id into the account.move.line
for both the stock move and invoice transactions then uses this as the
basis for reconciling.

The clearing happens when the Invoice is validated.
You don’t want it happening without a user being involved, because you use uncleared entries to detect unvalidated Invoices.

As far as I know there is no automatic clearing.
I am wondering (I think I tested long time ago but cant remember result)
whether it is an option to set the clearing account as reconciliable and
launch an automatic reconciliation on it.

Subject: GR/IR Clearing Process
Dear accounting experts,
Has anyone faced the need for a GR/IR clearing process?
In the context of perpetual inventory management (real-time inventory), that's the process by which Goods Received / Invoice Received account (also called GRNI - Goods Received Not invoiced) debit and credit entries originating from the same purchase order are reconciled.
The unreconciled entries in this GL account represent the valued goods that have been received from a supplier, for which no invoice has been entered yet.
Regards,
