What is GR/IR account? Why do you maintain that? Explain the
importance of GR/IR clearing account.

Answer Posted / sudharshana vamsi

The offsetting entry for clearing the GR/IR clearing
account is posted to the stock account (provided that there
is sufficient stock coverage for the quantity difference):
• If there is a delivery surplus on the GR/IR
clearing account, the material was debited with too high a
value when the goods receipt was posted. When the GR/IR
clearing account is cleared, the material is credited
accordingly.
• If there is an invoice surplus on the GR/IR
clearing account, the material was debited with too low a
value when the goods receipt was posted. When the GR/IR
clearing account is cleared, the material is debited
accordingly.
If there is insufficient stock coverage for this quantity,
only the portion corresponding to the available stock is
posted to the stock account. The rest is posted to a price
difference account.
For a material subject to standard price control, the
offsetting entry to clear the GR/IR clearing account is
made to a price difference account. Thus, there are no
value changes in the material master record.
