Track a product requires an Inventory asset account, Cost of goods sold account and Purchase clearing account. The three selections must be distinct. Each supports a different part of the stock accounting workflow.
Choose the current company's supported asset account for inventory value and the Cost of Goods Sold account for issued stock cost. Then choose the dedicated eligible liability used for purchase clearing. Review the account identities rather than relying only on similar names.
If the editor reports that all three accounts are required or that they must be distinct, correct the actual mapping. Reusing one account across fields would obscure the movement between stock, expense and the separately reconciled acquisition source.
After saving, inspect the tracked product before preparing its first movement. A receipt from an eligible issued bill uses that bill's expense source, while other-source receipts use the product's purchase clearing account. Keep these source paths clear so later stock valuation can be compared with ledger evidence without duplicating an acquisition payment.
