CST920 in 405 CD

I am reviewing what needs to be ready for end-of-year EOY, which is often a
little different year to year. Also a lot has fallen out of my brain since
last EOY.

We have various types of what we call "glitches", where something is haywire
with our data, and the focus is on getting it identified and fixed, avoid
any finger pointing which can be destructive.

We keep actual costs of raw material current with vendor prices, then
towards end of year key in vendor price changes for the coming year. I make
a copy of standard cost to frozen cost reference, then copy actual into
standard, and rollup. In theory at this point our new year standard costs
are based on latest expected costs per our PUR vendors.

I know from prior years that if the "from-cost" is zero, that will make the
"to-cost" zero, so I am now running queries listing items which have
recently been active per IWI file, and are raw materials per IIM item type,
but have actual cost zero so they can be fixed before EOY. During
end-of-month EOM, right after INV900 we often run INV973 which goes on JOBQ
to purge IWI records whose on-hand etc. have gone to zero. We rarely do
INV970 because it cannot go on JOBQ, and I often doing EOM via VPN which has
a bad habit of losing connection. Thus if an item is in IWI I know it was
recently active. We do not do this IWI purge in same month of a physical
inventory.

My question is about NULLS, items for which there is no cost record. Does
anyone know what happens with CST920 if there is a null? I have looked at
the source code, and cannot figure that out. We do not have AS/SET but
CST920B is from AS/Set.

If "from-cost" record exists, but not "to-cost" record, does CST920 add the
to-record copy, or ignore it?

If "from cost" record is missing, does CST920 ignore that item?
