RE: Problem with 'C' transaction -- BPCS-L

Eric,

I had stumbled across an incident about a year ago where we ran into
problems matching up the accounting 'C' transactions to the PO receipt 'U'
transactions if they were in different warehouses.  From what I remember the
warehouse the C transaction is looking for should be the warehouse that was
on the PO.  Our problems was that we created the PO against one warehouse
but we were changing the warehouse upon reciept - and then accounting
records were not matching up with the C transactions...since I don't work on
the accounting side I can't give you the details of their problems, but it
is something to look at.

Good luck,

Thanks for Bill and Al's reply.  I've checked the parameters, we're running
costing by Facility.  Is this the reason why I was asked for the warehouse,
which is then used to identify the corresponding facility?

I've also read the BPCSDOC.  It gives nothing more than the help regarding
'C' transaction, as well as the Warehouse and Lot / Location Level.
Anyway, I've input a 'C' transaction with Warehouse Level  set to Y.  It
seems that no change has been made to IWM and IWI.

Eric

Hi Eric,

        It appears your C is set up to affect cost, are you costing by
Facility?
