Applies-from Entry Field, Item Journal Line Table

Specifies the number of the outbound item ledger entry whose cost is forwarded to the inbound item ledger entry when you post an inbound transaction of type Positive Adjmt. or Purchase with the item journal. The field is empty by default.

By entering the number of an outbound entry in the Applies-from Entry field, you change the item journal line from being a cost source to becoming a cost recipient. In other words, the purchase or positive adjustment acts as a return or a correction of the previously posted outbound transaction. The cost will be received through the fixed application.

Important

Fixed applications made in this manner only apply the cost, not the quantity. Accordingly, the posted positive item ledger entry will not close the applied outbound entry and will itself remain open. This also applies when you post a fixed application for a positive entry to a negative entry that has not been closed by a regular positive entry, then both the negative and the positive entries will remain open. This also means that you cannot close an inventory period where such an entry exists. For information about resolving such a situation, see How to: Close Open Item Ledger Entries Resulting from Fixed Application in the Item Journal.

Application entries are stored in the Item Application Entry table. You can change and reapply application entries under certain conditions by using the Application Worksheet window.
