Having debate with consultant as to what check marking the box to “post to COS” does when running the Capture COS/WIP activity. We’ve been only checking it once a month at month end and seems to be working. Consultant thinks we should be checking it at every ‘running’ of the process. Does anyone know a good reason to check mark each time or is ok for the once a month?
thanks
My thoughts are that the consultant is afraid that once a transaction is posted, it won’t be selected for COS posting. But there is a separate field in PartTran called COSPostingReqd. This would be used to do the COS posting for already Posted part transactions.
If you run the Capture COS process without the Capture COS option selected, none of the Invoicing trans occur. If you then run it with the option selected, you’ll get just the invoicing trans.
Best way to verify this is to run it w/o the option, then run it again with the option. Then find the “Periodic Posting Trans” in the GL, and note the GL Code and number. You should find two with todays date - most likely not in the same GL acct. Note them both.
Next, run the WIP Recon using the GL Code and Number for each from above.
The two outputs of the WIP Recon report will show the posting for the trans that didn’t hit COS, and the the postings for the trans that do.
thanks - we’ll test that
You can probably just go back and look at the “Per Post Proc” that was run the last time you did the Capture with the Post COS/Var option selected. Run the GL for a COS account that you know would have been posted to, with the date of the last time it was run with the option.
