Hello Martin,
Thank you for posting on the Forum and for helping other users, too.
The Expected Cost option only deals with Inventory - not A/R. The entry for Shipped Not Invoiced is to Debit COGS (Interim) and Credit the Inventory (Interim)0. We are basically tracking that the value of the inventory is no longer in regular stock and out the door, so it no longer shows on our valuation. However, to make sure when match the Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold, we wait until final Sales Invoicing for the complete posting, which will be to reverse the Expected Cost entry noted and post the Debit to A/R, Credit to Sales, Debit to COGS, and Credit to Inventory. By doing this, we match Revenue and Expense to the same period, which is proper accouting posting.
I hope this helps clarify.
Best Regards
Tom
