GR/IR account is used to capture the liability for GR and offset the Invoice receipt.

On GR

Dr. Inventory

Cr GR/IR

On Vendor Invoice Receipt

Dr GR/IR

Cr Vendor.

The month end activity of GR/IR clearing is to clear the debits and credits sitting in the GR/IR account.

In some countries you are legally required to report on goods received not invoiced (liability) and goods invoiced not received (asset) separately.

this is done in SAP using the GR/IR adjustment account. So if you have an instance where you have received the goods but not hte invoice, the following entry is passed by the GR/IR clearing (F.19)

Dr. GR/IR Adjustment a/c

Cr. Goods Received Not invoiced

For goods invoiced not received the entry will be

Dr. Goods Received Not invoiced

Cr. GR/IR Adjustment a/c

At the end of this adjustment, the sum of the balance in the GR/IR account and the GR/IR adjustment account is 0.

These entries are for the monthend and are reversed on the first day of the next month.
