Requesting an Inventory Cost Analysis Report/Post

 

The Inventory Cost Analysis Request Screen allows you to submit requests for a post and for the Inventory Cost Analysis Report (IC280A).  You must enter the company/warehouse and whether you wish to run a post (an optional requester name may also be entered).  If you do not request a post, only the Inventory Cost Analysis Report will be generated.  A sample of the request screen is shown here below.

Inventory Cost Analysis Request Screen.

 

Once the request is validated, you must use the Release Submitted Jobs option to release the request for processing.  When released, the Inventory Cost Analysis Report Program (IC280E) is called to process all of the requests.

If the request is not a post, the program will process the transactions in the audit trail files and produce the report; however, the transactions will not be posted and category C23 will not be updated.

If the request is a post, the program processes the transactions in the audit trail files, produces the reports, posts the transactions, and updates category C23.  The program posts the transactions by setting the transaction's post flag to Y (yes) on the audit trail.  Once a transaction is posted, it is no longer processed by the Inventory Cost Analysis Report Program.
