IM1701 Inventory Management Material Cost Type/Loc File Maintenance
Material Cost Type/Loc File Maintenance
Application Overview
Material Cost Type/Loc File Maintenance allows you to keep track of inventory cost by material cost type within a particular location. If you are using multiple warehouses and you wish to track costs within warehouses, simply enter a material cost type account for each warehouse. The Customer Order Processing package will post the cost of each item sold to the correct inventory asset account. The Purchase Order package will utilize the asset account when purchase orders are entered. Inventory Transaction Processing will also use the asset accounts to distribute transactions.
The purchase price variance account will be used by the Accounts Payable package to accumulate differences between an item's invoiced amount and its received cost in the Purchase Order and Receiving package. It will also be used if I/M Setup is set to create automatic distributions during the posting of physical count tags.
