Re: CMF - how could it be possible?

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

We are on BPCS 405 CD on AS/400 V4R3 & within recent months have had an 
increase in understanding CMF thanks to discussion on this site ... you might 
try to get in habit of stating your version of BPCS & computer platform since 
for some questions this does make a difference.

First, you might want to check if there are any other records for other 
buckets for your example.

>  Item  fac     Cstset    CSTbkt  CSTthislvl
>  ABC   SW        1                 10000
>  ABC   SW        1        1         8000
>  ABC   SW        1        2         2000

In this example, cost bucket 0 is perfectly valid because it is the total of 
buckets 1 & 2.  As I now understand it, data can get into CMF by a variety of 
means ... you key to CST100 but that is not the only way.  Suppose someone 
does some routings or BOM for item ABC facility SW that belongs to cost 
bucket 2 ... this will create a CIC record ... then suppose you do a cost 
roll up ... this will create a CMF record ... suppose the data that caused 
cost bucket 2 was in error ... you still got cost bucket 2 to clean up.

If you do CST300 you hopefully can see where the other 2,000 is coming from, 
then tell whether or not it is correctly there.
