Item Cost in inventory master data

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Ive created an Item say XYZ in Inventory masterdata ( Created on 01/01/2008). There was no Item Cost when I created this. And Ive posted many Production Order documents with this Item XYZ. Now when I raise Production Order On this Item, Disassembly Order- Planned & Released.

Ill go to Issue for Prodiction Screen and select the Disassembly oder and Issue this Order. When I go back to this Issue for production screen what Ive Issued, This is showing Item Cost which I didnot fed in Production order screen/ Issue for Production screen.

Ive checked in Item Masterdata of XYZ Item. There also Item Cost is shown, which I didnt fed in to the system. And this Item Cost is changing. When I raise Production Orders and Issuing them, I saw this Item Cost Increasing.

I dont want this Item Cost effect in Issue for production. And plzz let me know what is the reason for changing this Item cost in Master data.

Thanks In Advance.

Hi Sree,

if you defined your item to have a valuation method other than standard with a cost of 0.00 & you procured this item at a cost, then the application will automatically keep track of the item cost & thus apply this in the receipt from production & other stock transactions.

All the best,

Hi Sree,

you could bring the stock level & therefore the stock value down to zero, then change the valuation method to 'Standard' & assign a standard item cost of 0.00. That implies however that you must allow stock release without item cost. Please note that you need to remove this item from any BOMs as well before you can change this data.

As with all standard cost items, if you buy this item for anything different from 0.00, the difference will be posted to the price differences account defined for this item. Your accountant might need to make adjustments to account for that.

All the best,

Kerstin
