Re: Update the Default cost. -- MAPICS-L

Another option to consider for the update is to use the "Offline File
Update" for Item Master.

It does accommodate creation of CU's so accounting and SOX auditors
should be happy. Also, it's fairly quick once you get the offline file
formatting down.

Olga, I am sorry that my responses appeared hostile, that was not the

intent

at all. If that is the way you took it, I offer my sincerest apology.

was just trying to point out there was a quick way to get what he

wanted

done. If SOX was applicable, I would assume that the correct

documentation

would be done such as a before and after inventory valuation report.

not, the task could be accomplished in a few minutes.

Rusty, why the hostility? I was agreeing with you - I have been in

this

business for over 20 years and believe me, I know what needs to get

done.

I was just adding some additional information for those who need an

audit

trail. SOX and auditors - I wish we could do without! I was not
attacking you at all. Have yourself a wonderful weekend too.

Olga,

Yes, I can spell it very well thank you. I have quite a few

clients

that

are publicly held and are obviously SOX oriented.

However, I also have clients that have to have things done

YESTERDAY
and

have to keep their business going! Maybe I should start refusing

to
do

what is requested of me by the client unless it follows SOX to the

"T"

no

matter if it adds hours to what they need now. But then again, I

doubt

that

I would have any left. I am in business to serve the client and

have

yet

to receive the first check from the auditors so I guess I will just

continue

giving what the client wants.

Have a marvelous weekend.

Rusty,
All I can say is - can you spell SOX? Any updating of

MAPICS-related

fields should have some type of auditing. I assume your clients

did

not

have auditors on their backs! Lucky you!

His question was "Is there a way to update the Default Cost with

the

Standard Cost in item
master without running the Period End / Year End Close option in
IM?" Of course, you could create the CU transactions. But to
accomplish the task at hand quickly, the "quickie: would work

and
it

could be written and tested in a matter of minutes. Over the

years,

I have had many clients request this simple task and not one of

them

have wanted the CUs in their IMHIST file. But of course that is

option.

Weston,
I would advise against writing the "quickie" program unless

you

also

include creating the CU transaction (standard unit cost

default

replacement) for tracking/audit purposes.

Thank you,

Write a "quickie" to populate UCDEF in ITEMASA with STDUC
