For two way match with a purchase order:
1. Purchase order created (No financial impact of JE)
2. Invoice is received and applied
DR to Expense
CR to Accounts Payable
3. Payment made:
DR Accounts Payable
CR Cash
4. Any open POs at the end of the month that don't have invoices received are accrued under accrued expenses.
Could someone tell me if the above is correct?
If it is a two way match, why does it need to go DR expense and CR AP. Can it not go DR Expense and CR Cash straight away? Or will step 3 only happen when the payment run is processed (in this example once a week on Friday)
