Re: Inventory Link to G/L -- BPCS-L

Go to Menu INV option 15 option 2 = INV355 or at one of YOUR company menus on upper right where it says enter program name direction do INV355C

Either way you get to a list of the Inventory transactions on your system. Pick any one, such as the first on the list. Look in lower left corner where it explains where in the GL this transaction goes. Glue your eyes to that info Now scroll screens through the different transaction types, with your eyes glued to one spot.

The deal here is that someone in your company, probably in the accounting department, runs some job probably daily, that copies from inventory to GL the consequences of you inventory transactions, payables, purchases, invoices, cash receipts, the whole 9 yards, and here is where the rules are with respect to the inventory transactions ... to an extent they are also in item class and other places ... so the transaction type, plus nature of item, plus location, all conspire to determine the General Ledger location that the data ends up.

In 405 CD there is a link, but it is not instantaneous. As parts of the transactions are done ... each part of the 3 way match in any sequence, those parts are recorded in BPCS, then when the accounting person runs the INV920 and GLD540 or whaterver it is, the transactions so far since the last time flow into GL Journal Batches, and the transaction file gets a flag saying that this has been done for those transactions.

It does not matter what sequence you do the 3 way match. It does not even matter if GL not setup right. In the latter case it will go into the GL error list for accounting or whoever to resolve.

You need to study the documentation on the G/L.

Dear All:

Does BPCS have direct link to G/L upon receiving of items or inspection of
items or does it have to go thru Invoice Checking/3 way matching process
before Inventory G/L account will be recognized?  If BPCS has a direct link
to G/L without going to 3 way matching process where do you usually set this
up.

Melvin
