Accounting Cost Generation - Purpose
IA100E
The Accounting Cost Generation program (IA100E) saves, or "freezes," all standard costs in accounting cost fields. This allows the user to update standard costs before period-end reporting has been completed. New activity can then be valued at updated standard costs while previous period activity will be valued at saved standard, or "accounting," costs.
