If your Organization is Standard Costing Organization then Purchase price variance account will get hit.

HI,

If your organization is Average costing organization and if you have enabled "Allow Negative Balances" in the Organization parameter then cost variance account will get hit. This will work as follows.

1. If your on-hand qty is -10 (Negative)
2. You are receiving 20 Nos against a purchase Order.
3. 10 Nos cost get adjusted against the -10 (Negative) transaction cost
and difference will get hit the cost variance account.

Hope it is clear now.
