What is the difference of PO Charge Account,PO Accrual Account and PO Variance Account

在Oracle ERP云里，PO行分配里面有三个账户如下

对库存物料

1，PO借记账户是放最后接收入库后的借方账户，分录一般是

原材料/材料采购 (inventory/receiving inspection)，就是这个原材料的账户

2，先说PO应计账户，这个是放接收PO时的贷方账户，是一个中间账户，在接收还没有放入库存时的一个中间账户

一般接收时的分录是：材料采购/暂估应付账款 （receiving inspection/ap accrual）

3,PO差异账户

采购和匹配发票的差异账户

匹配PO后的分录是：暂估应付账款/应付账款（receiving inspection/ap）

这样，1，2，3连续执行下来，中间账户会对冲掉，只剩下  原材料/应付账款
