Note: A huge difference between a Location and an Inventory Organization is that Inventory Organizations determine a lot of accounting that gets sent to the General Ledger! For Purchasing, we are mainly concerned about Purchase Price Variance, Invoice Price Variance and Inventory AP Accrual accounts.
