# Edit an accrual on a purchase order

When an item is entered on a purchase line, the program automatically calculates accrual amounts based on accrual plans for which the relevant vendor and purchase item are specified. You can edit a calculated accrual amount directly on a purchase order before it is posted.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> An accrual can be edited on a purchase order only if the **Edit Accrual on Document** field for the relevant accrual plan is selected.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Purchase Orders**, and then choose the related link.
2. Open the purchase order with the accrual you want to edit.
3. On the **Lines** FastTab, in the **Promo/Rebate Amount** field, locate the accrual you want to edit.
4. Click the accrual amount to open the **Document Accrual Lines** page.

The lines on this page represent the payment accounts that exist for each accrual. For example, if a single accrual has three payment accounts, there are three lines.
5. Edit the value in the **Payment Amount** field.

When the purchase order is posted, the program accrues the amounts entered on this page.
