how do you run PO accruals in netsuite ?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, to run Purchase Order (PO) accruals, you need to use Service Items linked to the appropriate account. The options 'Can Be Fulfilled/Received' and 'Generate Accruals' must be enabled in the Item record under the Preferences subtab. This will allow you to have a GL impact at the time of Item Receipt. If you are trying to reconcile the accrued purchases account, you can do this by creating a saved search or by running vendor bill variance as a month-end process. For identifying issues such as foreign exchange differences between bill and Item Receipt, Billed but no receipt, Item Receipt but no invoice, on a purchase order level, you can refer to SuiteAnswers ID: 50506. If you want to go straight from a PO to bill it (without receiving), you can enable the 'Bill in Advance of Receipt' feature. However, note that without receiving, your 3-way match would fail. Alternatively, you could set up non-inventory items or other charge items for purchase that mimic all your accounts. But under preferences mark 'Can Be Fulfilled/Received' = FALSE. Then enter your POs using the Items sublist instead of expenses and it won't require a receipt at all. When you save the PO it will just be pending billing. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
