I have two vendor bills created for the same vendor with the same item - one hits our 3030 accrued receipts, and the other hits 1499 inventory assets. Why do the same type of vendor bills hit different accounts?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The difference in the accounts being hit by the vendor bills for the same item could be due to a few reasons. Firstly, it could be due to the status of the related Purchase Order (PO). If the PO is still pending receipt, the vendor bill will not hit the Accrued Purchases account. This is because there is no accrual to record if the items have not been received yet. Secondly, the difference could be due to the settings on the item record. If the 'Generate Accruals' option is checked on the item record, the vendor bill will hit the Accrued Purchases account. If this option is not checked, the vendor bill will hit the expense account directly. Lastly, the difference could be due to manual changes made to the vendor bill after it was created. If a user manually adds a line to the vendor bill or changes the items, this could affect the accounts that the vendor bill hits. In terms of the Inventory Asset account, discrepancies between the balance sheet and the inventory valuation summary report could be due to transactions being posted directly to the Inventory Asset account without using items. This could happen if someone posts a Journal Entry (JE) directly against the Inventory Asset account, or if someone enters a vendor bill with the Inventory Asset account on the expenses line but no items. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
