| Output journals with zero value |
If you select his option, then when you transfer the BOM cost to the warehouse cost, all cost changes including zero value changes are written to the Inventory Journal file/table and, by extension, to the General Ledger cost changes account. If you do not select this option, then any cost change against an item in a warehouse that results in a transaction value of zero is not output to the inventory journal file/table. A zero value cost change occurs when there is a zero quantity of the item on hand. All cost changes are still recorded in the inventory movements file/table to ensure that a log of these changes exists, irrespective of your selection at this option. |

You cannot run this program if you only ran the Cost Implosion for a range of stock codes. You must run the Cost Implosion for all stock codes.
If a range of stock codes were updated on one Cost Implosion run and another range of stock codes were updated on a different run, then the Implosion numbers in the Inventory Master table will differ, resulting in you not being able to do the costs transfer.
-
You cannot run this program if FIFO or LIFO costing is installed (Inventory Setup - General tab).
