Hi Chris: I frequently set the coding on holding locations to the Inventory account. No financial transactions happen, really, until the status of the receipt changes to COMP anyway.
Just my . 02 worth.

FOUND IT.
After finding dozens of incorrect GLs in weird places, after setting GL on items in inventory, after looking everywhere and still not seeing the logfiles help me, I spotted it.
"Inspection Required?"
I was doing a receipt, again to see the log entries, and noticed the inspection status was showing up. I know this end user installation didn't inspect on receipt, so this was my clue to solve it. Sure enough, the PO line had it set. The PO line section for the PO application had that field removed instead of hidden or locked down, so I never noticed it. The PO header had it blank, but it could have easily been set then un-set after a line was added. Header flags don't cascade to existing lines (obviously)
We could have still solved this if accounting supplied GLs for the holding locations, but they declined. Which is weird and unhelpful. I could have faked a GL there but I don't mess with accounting, even if they deserve it. So, I flipped the bit in the database, and it flowed. I also flipped a bit for another PO line out there, in anticipation of someone discovering this issue again.
I need to restore that field, lock it down, and try to convince accounting to create holding GLs.
Well, I sure did learn a lot about default GL values, how GLs get copied from place to place, and why removing fields is always a bad idea.
Thanks to everyone who pitched in and gave it a look, I appreciate it.
