Expense Purchase order for inventory items

I am worried about a current transaction and do not see how the following happened,

 

I used an Expense purchase order for inventory items and using an Error and Defect GL account number.

The parts were recieved into inventory and the update posted the transaction to our unvouchered inventory (waiting for an invoice) and debted by GL expense account. The parts are now on hand.

 

When the items were shipped now it credited my inventory account and debted my cost of goods which is correct, however if when the expense po was received and the gl transaction did not effect my inventory buy my error account - how is my inventory valuation report and trial balance report correct? If the receipt of these parts did not hit my inventory general ledger account?

 

Should I be worried?

    For any transaction involving an inventory item the system uses the GL codes from the product line for that item. IF you did NOT change these codes in line entry then you should be fine. However if you edited the lines and replaced the inventory account with any other account then yes your GL will NOT match your Trial Balance. Note that you should not use the inventory valuation to tie to the GL as it is a "live" report.
