If you have\u00a0Advanced Receiving\u00a0enabled in NetSuite, you can easily clean up these discrepancies. This process generates journal entries that move variances to the correct accounts, ensuring your financial reporting remains accurate and transparent.<\/p>\n<h2>Type of Variances:<\/h2>\n<p>There are three types of variances that NetSuite will check for between the Receipt and the Purchase Order.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Price Variance<\/li>\n<li>Quantity Variance<\/li>\n<li>Exchange Rate Variance<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Setting Up Item Records for Variances<\/h2>\n<p>To be able to calculate variances for items, the following need to be set up on the item records.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Variance Accounts<\/li>\n<li>Default Setting for Match Bill to Receipt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Variance Accounts:<\/h2>\n<p>To manage your variances, you\u2019ll first need to designate\u00a0GL COGS accounts\u00a0for posting. On each item record, you can choose different accounts for price, quantity, and exchange rate variances, or use a single account if you don&#8217;t need to see them broken out. Once these fields, Bill Price Variance,\u00a0Bill Quantity Variance, and\u00a0Exchange Rate Variance, are filled in, NetSuite knows exactly where to post the discrepancies when journals are generated.<\/p>\n<h2>Match Bill to Receipt<\/h2>\n<p>Enable the\u00a0Match Bill to Receipt\u00a0preference on the item record to automate your variance tracking. This ensures that any purchase order featuring the item is automatically set to calculate variances against the vendor bill. If you prefer more control, leave this box clear and manually select the option only when needed on specific transaction lines.<\/p>\n<h2>Price Variance Transactions Example:<\/h2>\n<p>Below is an example of a price variance that may occur between transactions.\u00a0 For any of the three types of variances identified in the system, the calculations are the same, however, NetSuite allows you to designate the variance account for posting each type of variance.<\/p>\n<p>For the purchase order we add an item with the following attributes:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
