Re: Transfer from One Part Number to Another

In your testing, you might want to check CST100 break-down before and after
the transfer or RD, for the item and facility being moved.

We have different cost structures in different facilities ... same item may
be manufactured in one facility, purchased in another, where it is
legitimate to have different costs same item, by facility.

Last cost makes sense for us within a facility, but we do not want cost
updated by this kind of transfer.

It may be an artifact of our 405 CD version, but let's suppose we use BPCS
inventory transaction to transfer an item from manufacturing facility to
facility which only purchases items for distribution. After transfer, there
have been cost types added to the destination, for manufacturing buckets
which existed in the manufacturing facility, but not in the distribution
facility.

Test it with and without cost buckets populated zero in the to facility,
which correspond to the cost buckets for the item in the from facility.

You are checking to see what cost buckets get added, or changed, in the to
facility, based on the info in the from facility.

Some transactions permit a human "reason" text comment, but when someone has
a ton of keying needed, they don't always provide meaningful clues ... they
do not know why they have been asked to enter whatever transactions.

Hey Larenzo
Just a word of caution... You may want to make sure your accounting
department understands this transaction change. We use standard costs and
manage inventory costs very tightly. We try to limit the use of this
transaction as much as possible since this is a non- production transaction
that changes the value of our inventory. It can be time-consuming to
understand why these transactions were made. You might want to consider
adding some reason codes to help with analysis.

Regards,
Bryn
