Modify Posting Cost Group per Cost Bucket

Explanation

After entering posting cost groups you can connect them to cost buckets. This activity is used to connect posting cost groups to existing cost buckets in the system.

If your cost bucket is already connected to another posting cost group, you can modify the connection through this activity. If you need to modify the posting cost group for several cost buckets, it is recommended that you change all of them at once. This is because modifying the posting cost group will result in generation of a lot of revaluation transactions through a background job.

Note: If your cost buckets haven't been entered as yet, you should use activity Define Cost Bucket to enter cost buckets and simultaneously connect them to posting cost groups.

Prerequisites

• Cost Buckets and Posting Cost Groups must be entered for your company.
• To be able to disconnect a cost bucket without connecting it to another posting cost group, the Mandatory to Use Posting Cost Group option on the Posting Cost Groups page must not be selected.

System Effects

New posting cost groups will be connected to cost buckets. Revaluation transactions will be initiated for all parts in stock or transit with the Cost Bucket ID in its cost detail structure. Even if several buckets connected to a part are modified, only a single revaluation transaction is created per part record. All inventory value queries and reports will display new values.

Modifying the posting cost group will change postings already created on inventory transactions. Financially, the values will be moved from the old posting cost group to the new one.

• Transactions will be created per Part No, Serial No, Lot Batch No, Condition and Location Group.
