We are on BPCS 6.0.04 mixed mode April cum heavily Intermaticized (modified).

We struggled with the same concept -  mixed sales of product (that we needed 
separated) to a single customer. Everything worked great because of the 
different item class. AR didn't work out. 

In our case we had a full owned subsidiary and we did an analysis of all 
invoices that had a mixed bag for a period of time (3 months in our cst) and 
came up with an  average based upon invoice total (like 1% of sales). We 
manually charged back the company for the average (the bunch of A/R stuff not 
associated with a particular item) on a monthly basis to handle.

Would boil down to a manual feed to your P&L.

Subject: Brand / Profit Center


Folks - we are on BPCS 4.0.03

Currently my company has two brands, and the two brands are treated as
separate lines of business.  They are represented in the GL as separate
profit centers.  In the Item Master the ITEM CLASS field differentiates
the two brands.  We sell both brands to roughly 60% of our customers;
for each of those customers we actually have TWO customer numbers, with
different customer types and profit centers.

We would like to have a single customer number for each entity to which
we sell.  However, we still want to be able to generate a P/L and
Balance Sheet for each brand.  The expense side is straight-forward; it
is already coded manually as the invoices are paid.  Sales, Inventory
and CoGs are also painless.  But the AR and Cash piece is somewhat
troublesome; some invoices will contain both classes, and there is a
bunch of A/R stuff not associated with specific items.

Any thoughts you might have would be appreciated.
