Acquisition Flag

Indicates whether the cost is paid to the vendor (if the part is typically purchased) or to another warehouse (if the part is typically transferred to this warehouse from another).  The sum of all Acquisition Costs will be included in the calculation of Purchase Price Variance and Transfer Price Variance.  Non-acquisition costs should represent add-on charges such as freight, duty, and inspection and handling costs.  These figures will not be included in the calculation of variances.  This field may only be changed if the current, standard, simulated, and accounting cost fields are zero for the cost type element for this part and plant.  Once the current, standard, and simulated costs are zero, you must run the accounting cost generation to zero out the accounting cost for this part/plant/cost element record.
