Re: Updating IIM with Cost Summary Data

Thanks for the Reply Laurent. I've never looked at the CIC file! Can you
explain how the CIC file and CMF file relate or work together in my
environment? (Costing my facility) I've written several queries that pull cost
info out of CMF. Am I better off using the CIC file?

If I want the standard to appear on the INV100 screen, what do you think of me
using the CST940 (Inter Facility Cost Transfer) to copy the facility data that
I want to show on the IIM into the "blank" or global facility?

Thank you,

Paul LaFlamme
