This is true and by design if you are tailored for standard costing. If
you are tailored for average costing it would automatically adjust cost
upon receipt. Also, if you are using standard costing, XA still tracks
the average cost.

What I understand anyway...

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Costing of purchased items.

List

In investigating costing of purchased items I have found the following
from the Infor XA support website:



Here is the solution: Material cost for Raw Material and Purchased
Items

Standard and Current Material Costs for Raw Material (Item Type = 3) and
Purchased Items (Item Type = 4) are maintained only through file
maintenance. These fields are not updated through any receipt
transactions or any MAPICS program.



Here is the problem or goal:

Material cost for Raw Material and Purchased Items


How does the material costs for raw material and purchased items get
updated?






I have three questions then.

1. How does the costs get entered into Current and Standard costs
the first time that item is created?

2. What is the best way to keep these costs accurate, since it
appears you must do file maintenance to update the costs?

i.e. Is there a off-line load option from , say, a excel spreadsheet?

3. Is there a bolt on module that will track the purchasing cost
and update the purchase item costs in IM?



Thanks
