First, please excuse my outburst about Geac.  There are a lot of fine
people there doing the best they can.

I should have mentioned I'm just a simple accountant.  I have some
knowledge of what goes on in the Inventory module, but not a lot.  The key
is we want to track the inventory quantity on expense items, so we know
when to reorder things.  If memory serves me correctly, making something
non-stock prevents you from tracking inventory.

Can't you treat the expensed items as non stock items?

I've given up trying to get help from Geac.  The 'answer' provided by
AnswerLink is to hire their consultants to get the answer.  Funny thing,
I've asked many Geac consultants over the last 3 years about this and have
yet to receive an answer from a single one of them.  And, all this while
trying to triple our maintenance fee!  ................Man, am I
frustrated.

Anyhow...  maybe you folks can help me with this.  What I posted on
AnswerLink follows:

                                                 Here is our situation...
                                                 We have 2 types of
                                                 inventory: production
                                                 and supplies. Only
                                                 production inventory is
                                                 shown on the Balance
                                                 Sheet. Supplies are
                                                 expensed as received.
                                                 When the system was set
                                                 up several years back,
                                                 the supplies were setup
                                                 as 'standard costed'
                                                 items. As such, these
                                                 items are being handled
                                                 exactly as the
                                                 'production' standard
                                                 costed items are. That
                                                 is, upon receipt, an
                                                 accrual is posted to the
                                                 G/L and price variance
                                                 recognized. Remember I
                                                 said these are expensed?
                                                 I don't mind the auto
                                                 accrue feature but I
                                                 very much mind taking
                                                 purchase price variance
                                                 on expensed items. So...
                                                 my hope is that I can
                                                 change the supplies to
                                                 some other cost type
                                                 (FIFO is what I have in
                                                 mind) so they'll stop
                                                 generating price
                                                 variance. Then, the
                                                 question becomes how to
                                                 do that without causing
                                                 heartburn to the system.




Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
