What exactly is Current stp cost? I checked and it seems to be the same as 
current avg cost?

There is a field call Current stp cost on the ImHIST transaction. This is
the cost at the moment of the transaction. This is cost shoulb be the one
selected in the IM questionaire.

Bob,
I agree that IMHIST does have separate SA records for each item on the
invoice and each item has the same order number. But the transaction amount
field for each SA record is zero (as we process a zero dollar invoice for
warranty customers by selecting 'Y' for no charge item). So this does not
give me a break down of the transaction amount (avg cost*qty) for each line
item.

For instance (for warranty customer and CO has 2 items on it), 

COM History
============
CO 5885 
Customer #: 1452556
Invoice Amount: $0.00

IM History
==========
1.
Item: 733655
W/h: XXX
Loc: YYY
Qty: 1
Amount: $0.00
Average Cost: $25.00

2.
Item: 733656
W/h: XXX
Loc: YYY
Qty: 1
Amount: $0.00
Average Cost: $15.00 

GL Lines
========
Transaction #: 003232
Unit: 12323
Nature: 34322
Value: $38.00
Narrative: CO 5885 Customer Order

Using your approach (YAA7REP-->YAARREP-->IMHIST), my query returns:

UNIT  NATURE  CO/CM  G/L VALUE   ITEM   AMOUNT           
12323 34322   5885    38.00        733655   0   
12323 34322   5885    38.00        733666   0   

So the G/L value ($38) is the sum of the avg costs of both items. Is there
any other field that I should be looking at in IMHIST? Let me know. I have a
feeling I'm missing something!!!! 

How did you set up the G/L Rules so they distinguish between warranty and
non-warranty items when they assign accounts???

We use item accounting class for this. So for a given customer class and
turbine, the nature used will be different depending on what item accounting
class has been used. For instance, item accounting class 005 assigns it to
warranty account.

Thanks,
Nandu

Nandu, IMHIST has a separate SA record for each item on the invoice and each
has the order number. If one GL Line summarizes three items, then it will
link to three IMHIST records.

When I reread your first posting I found a loose end. How did you set up the
G/L Rules so they distinguish between warranty and non-warranty items when
they assign accounts??? Answer this question might give you a bullet-proof
way to filter out non-warranty items from your query.

> Bob,
> Thanks for your reply. I tried your first approach
(YAA7REP-->YAARREP-->IMHIST). The query does its job of returning the unit,
nature (warranty), CO/CM#, value, etc. But again the problem is, if a CO/CM
has more than 1 item, the value on the G/L lines is the sum of the (average
costs*qty) of all items on that CO/CM. Basically, the total value associated
with a CO/CM hits the G/L as a single value. Or am I missing something here?
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

ok for most part. This is because, all big dollar items are entered on CO/CM
in isolation i.e. no other items are added to the CO/CM.

When you do this, reformat the OEITXN record so there are separate records
for the charge and offset accounts.

have warranty with us. So every time items are shipped to customers under
warranty, we process a zero dollar invoice in COM. Basically, the value
(average unit cost * qty) hits the nature setup for warranty account on the
GL. If a CO has more than one item, the value for all items is summed up and
that's what hits the GL. Is there anyway I can get the values (average unit
cost * qty) that hit the GL, on an item-by-item basis?

current average cost is what would have been used at the time of the
transaction. We have some big dollar items (> $30,000) for which the average
costs change significantly over a period of time. Hence, it is important for
us to find out the average cost used at the time of the transaction. Let me
know if you need more information. Look forward to responses.
