RE: SALES ORDER COST

[Konrad Underkofler <kdunderk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Candy,

We have done corrections in the past but it is usually on items that have
unit of measure problems. One of the restrictions in COM is the unit of
measure on pricing, to avoid a lot of maintenance we keep everything in EA,
this gets messy when the stocking, purchasing and sales unit of measure can
vary. Sometimes a user will select the wrong unit of measure and just adjust
the sales prices which causes the cost to do an oooopppsss (not to mention
mess up inventory).

We also flatten the sales file hierarchy every nite so it adds one more
place to adjust the net cost to determine correct margin.

Regards

Konrad

Actually he wants to be able to correct the stock unit cost/extended item
cost in the sales history detail file (MBDDREP).  We use this information to
determine margins and so forth.

He would be the 1st one to tell me not to correct historical information,
and why he wants to do this on cost is beyond me.   He is unable to correct
the costs on items prior to shipping so therefore he wants to do after he
invoices.  As a former accountant myself I don't change files, I want the
audit trail - credit / re-bills seems to be the cleanest method.

Thanks for all of your input.
Candy
