Re: A versus Y Transaction ...

["Terry Herrmann" <Therrman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wade,

Congratulations to a one-step cycle counter!  From the perspective of a 
two-step counter [that would be us on 6.0.04], the only difference beyond your 
observation regarding the cycle count flag would be the manner in which the 
respective transactions are mapped into your GL.  Throwing the cycle count flag 
could certainly be accomplished by editing the transaction effect though INV150 
BUT the nature of the differentiation you wish to establish might best be 
facilitated via reason code definition and that's part of my basic problem with 
one-step cycle counting, the inability to associate significant reason codes 
with the posted adjustments.  Without that luxury, those of us who still have a 
need to differentiate the source of cycle count adjustments wouldn't be able to 
take a pareto approach to this type of problem solving.  We cycle approximately 
120 lines daily and are achieving super accuracies in our controlled stock 
warehouses - all of these counts are posted discretely via INV500.  Our shop 
floor/WIP count process is however, a disaster by design in that our backflush 
strategy makes for the ultimate in moving targets [but that's another story] 
and that process necessitates the assignment of reason codes to the respective 
adjustments.  If you do elect to throw cycle count flags with "A' transactions 
[and that could be argued either way] it will also be displayed/available for 
selection to your operators via INV515.

Regards

Other than updating the cycle count flag, can anyone share the impact of
using an A transaction versus using a Y transaction to adjust inventory? We
have been doing most of our adjustments by using a Y and we have found the
need for using the A to segregate some of our adjustments.

Thanks -
