This is a tangent, but when we upload new standards each year, I use a new cost set each time. It did break a bunch of BAQs because in ignorance I never dreamed I would be doing this…

I think I found a way forward. This is rough, though.
Big thing I learned is that DMT really does not handle this well for an unassigned cost set. One of the required fields of the DMT is Plant and that’s silly and is a problem because it’s checking my changes against the assigned cost set. So when all I want is to load in the costs for other costing methods, I can’t do it. I am able to modify it with an updatable BAQ, so there’s that.
And so also, that’s terrifying because I was actually able…
And test a lot.
Oh, and read this caveat - I also seem to break it every year…
Since you got me rereading this, I should say that I did go through with the new cost ID a few days after the July 8 post.
For some reason, when I did the change (step 11 above), it errored out during the endless ADJ-CST portion. So, that was a nightmare, trying to explain to people:
Yes, the new costs are loaded and all future transactions are at the new costs
But the GL activity didn’t complete, so $800,000 is in the wrong account(s).
In their words, the “subledger” was right but the Gener…
