Invoice Accrual

Does anyone know what the Invoice Accrual tab is in AP on the invoice tab?  I just noticed this and am curious how it works but can't find anything on it. 

 

In the Accounting Core 5.8 Release Notes, it states the following. I don't see any other documentation for the Invoice Accrual tab in AP:

Posted Invoice Accrual Prompt UI (Company/Property Level): At the Company / Property level, users with AP invoice accrual permissions will now see an action button titled “Invoice Accrual”. Users will be able to search by vendor, entered on date, and or invoice date.  Users will be able to select one or more invoices that return from their search, and they may enter Account details, Description details, and an accounting period date.

Accrual JE Creation – Upon creating the accrual settings for a set of invoices, 2 journal entries will be created. The first entry will have the Type: JEAC, this will be the accrual entry. The second journal entry will be a reversal of the JERV. Both Journal Entries will be available within the Pending Journal Entry Grid.

I just played with it and it's pretty easy/awesome! 

Once you click the button, it will ask you to pick the criteria, but if you select all vendors, you can choose which ones on the next page.

Pick what vendors you want to accrue > Pick the accounting period date (Usually EOM for accruals), and the Account should be wherever you want the accrual offset to go, like 21950 Accrued Expenses. 

Once you hit OK, you can go look at the JEs in the GL screen.
