Re: 2/MDM not the same as 11/MDC

Bob, The S21 costing has many facets.  Inventory has 3 set values
Material, Standard, and Latest.
The Latest Cost field in inventory is updated by transactions of
receipts into inventory.  Receipts to different stockrooms may be set as
different values if the cost on the purchase order or of the transaction
is different from other receipts.

The Standard Cost field in Inventory is update at initialization of a
stockroom or by Standard Cost Transfer (4/MDC)

When you run the 4/MDC option, you may elect to:
1. Update only Item stockroom records with out a cost, in which you may
have a stockroom with different value that will not get updated.
2. Update only the Primary Store Stockroom
3. Update only the Primary Store Stockrooms that are Zero.

Either of the above options could create deviation in the Inventory
Standard cost values.

To insure the 11/MDM cost value is the same in all stockrooms,
When you run 4/MDC to put your rolled up costs into Inventory, 
Be sure you have 
"Items without costs" = "0" and "Primary Stock room only"   "0"

Subject: [SYSTEM21] 2/MDM not the same as 11/MDC

We did a cost roll and have found out through some research
that some costs that are in 2/MDM are not the same as what is
in 11/MDC.

>From what I remember, when the cost roll is done, it takes the
primary stockroom cost (from 3/MDM) and puts it in 11/MDC.
Then I believe that there is another option that will take the costs
that are in 2/MDM for the primary stockroom and make them the
same for any other stockroom the item is in.

Does anyone have suggestions on where I can look to see
why some costs are not the same?
