“You need to configure the system to post to the receivables account for wholesale customers.”

From the case study, the G/L posting accounts required are:

Retail Receivables = 13100

In Business Central:

Customer Posting Groups (B)

Customer Posting Groups are used to map customers to specific Receivables G/L accounts.

You typically create separate posting groups, e.g., "RETAIL" and "WHOLESALE," and assign them to customers based on type.

This ensures postings go to the correct control account.

Receivables account 13200 (D)

For wholesale customers, the posting group must be configured to point to 13200 (Wholesale Receivables).

Why not the others?

A. Receivables account 13100 – This is for retail customers, not wholesale.

C. General Posting Setup – This setup manages how transactions post based on combinations of General Business Posting Groups and General Product Posting Groups, but it does not control receivables accounts.

E. General Business Posting Groups – These are used for revenue, COGS, and VAT postings, not receivables control accounts.

FIFO is a widely used costing method where the oldest inventory items are sold first. This is a common and straightforward method for valuing inventory.

Automatic cost adjustment is a crucial setting for resolving inventory reconciliation issues. When this is enabled, Business Central automatically adjusts the cost of goods sold (COGS) to match the actual cost of the inventory. This helps prevent discrepancies between the inventory sub-ledger and the general ledger, ensuring that the financial data is accurate.

Comprehensive Detailed Explanation

In Business Central, financial reporting is built from several components:

Row definition

Used to define which accounts or statistical accounts appear as rows in the financial report.

Since Headcount and Square Footage are statistical accounts (non-financial data tracked for reporting), they must be added via Row definition.

G/L account categories

Used to structure the income statement and balance sheet into financial categories such as Income, COGS, Assets, Liabilities.

The requirement states: “The financial report structure must map to account categories.”

Therefore, Income, Retail must be configured using G/L account categories.

Financial Report page

Used to assemble and present the report, combining row definitions, column definitions, and filters.

Accounts Receivables, Wholesale is a financial reporting output that must be displayed using the Financial Report page where the actual data is gathered.

Why not Column definition?

Column definitions control time periods (month, quarter, year, variance, etc.) but are not needed for these particular requirements.
