Thanks for the tips.

Will be using the P.O. # / line # as statistics ASAP, should help in future.

For now can somebody confirm that the accrued liability account should equal
(pqrec - pcqty) * standard from CMF.  We only use BPCS items (no commodities
etc).

ALSO

Nobody got any ideas on question 2 regarding f.c. rounding ?

PS For info we are using 6.0.04 Sep 98 / HP-UX / Informix

Subject:        BPCS Accounts Problems

I have a question for all you clever folks out there;

We are a recent convert to BPCS (2 months) and have a couple of question in
the finance area but can get no sensible answers from our usual contacts :

Question 1

We run the usual 3 way may on purchase orders using a single accrued
liability account.

If I value the contents of HPO received not costed (pqrec - pcqty) * pscst
OR (pqrec - pcqty) * standard from CMF I get a very different figure to the
one shown in the general ledger account.

I guess some PO invoices have been posted as expense invoices direct to our
'cost of sales' account.

Is it sensible to journal of the discrepancy between the recd. not costed
and accrued liability or am I missing something ?

Question 2

When posting foreign currency invoices we get a large number (10 % ish) that
when converted to base currency (GBP) leave debits and credits out by more
than 1p.  Anything out by a penny is rounded by the system for us.

Does anyone know of any 'tricks of the trade' to help, as currently we have
to use maintain events and manually correct the journal (not the fastest job
in the world)
