# Suggest purchase accruals

The program includes a feature that suggests purchase accruals. These accrual suggestions are made by looking at purchase transactions with calculated accrual amounts that have not been posted.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> If an accrual plan has the **Post Accrual w/ Document** field selected, its accruals are automatically posted with the documents from which they were generated and do not appear when you suggest accruals in the **Accrual Journal** page.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Plan Journal**, and then choose the related link.
2. On the **Actions** tab, in the **Functions** group, choose **Suggest Purchase Accruals** to open the **Suggest Purchase Accrual Entries** page.
3. Fill in the fields on the **Options** FastTab.
4. On the **Purchase Accrual Plan** FastTab, set filters to select purchase accruals by accrual plan number and/or computation group.
5. On the **Vendor** FastTab, set filters to select purchase accruals by vendor number.
6. Choose **OK** to start the batch job.

When the batch job finishes, the purchase amounts selected for accrual are listed in the accrual journal.
