Before you start

- Enter the vendor account as Account and the cost account as Offset account, or split the cost in the distributions.
- Validate, then Post.
Good to know in Dynamics 365 Finance

Words Dynamics 365 Finance uses
- Invoice journal. A fast entry sheet for vendor invoices that have no purchase order.
The Pulsify way

- Pulsify suggests an account for each line from past bills for that vendor. Each line gets its own account and sales tax code.
- Check the suggestions in Pulsify, change any that are wrong and approve.
- The vendor invoice is created in Dynamics 365 Finance with the right account on every line.

What Pulsify does not do here
- Pulsify can only pick from the accounts that exist in Dynamics 365 Finance.
Common mistakes
- Posting without running Validate or Simulate posting first.
- Putting the cost account in the Account column. The vendor goes in Account and the cost account in Offset account.
