Incorrect MFG-VAR transactions since upgrading to 10.2.400.13

Epicor ERP 10

Anyone using Average Costing with some Backflushed Mtl for direct shipment jobs, seeing incorrect MFG-VAR Transaction after posting Capture/WIP? Almost doubling the actual cost of the job.

Since upgrading from 10.2.200.8 to 10.2.400.13, we have noticed a large increase in MFG-VAR transactions. I’ve opened a call with support and they’ve replaced with Problem: PRB0216221.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Incorrect job costing when Enable Mfg Elements is set to Yes & Raw Material has cost components along with being backflushed.
Enable MFG Cost Elements used with Backflush if Material components have cost is Now calculating correct Job Costing
.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
Actual job costs should follow the parts off the job and when closed.
.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
Extra costs and incorrect costing buckets/components are being used causing Inventory or Cost of Sales to be grossly incorrect.

This seems to reflex what we’re seeing as well, however given that the target solution is 10.2.600 and there is no workaround listed I need to figure out how to correct the GLs.

Interestingly, I received the following email from Epicor this evening.

	
Dear Customer,

This is a notification that a costing issue reported within the Core Application, If you use backflushing within job costing and are on an earlier version of 10.2 than the versions listed below, please contact support to receive an expedited fix:

10.2.200.34 GA 11/31/19
10.2.400.14 GA 10/25/19
10.2.500.3   GA 10/23/19

You are receiving this notification because our records indicate you are on a prior version of 10.2.  If you feel you received this in error, you can update your version information on the portal by going to the Configurations > Product Configuration Profiles menu, or please let us know so we can help correct the version information we have on record.

Description of issue:
Incorrect job costing when backflushed is being used.
This is causing incorrect variance (MFG-VAR) calculations on jobs.
Multiple scenarios were found and corrected
Dollars to Inventory are not correct
Dollars seem to be doubled using the Qty x Cost Components

Dollars remain in WIP since the job is closed
This is also causing Negative Material if depending on the costing components of the part.

Example:
Unit Material:
Unit Labor: (too high amount going to inventory)
Unit Burden: (too high amount going to inventory)
Unit Subcontract: (Not cleared out of WIP)
Unit Material Burden: (Not cleared out of WIP)

I’ve never received an email of this nature from support, pro-actively reaching out to advise of an issue. Is this the first time you’ve seen one, or is my email address missing from a list somewhere?

It’s the first I’ve seen as well. I almost deleted the email by mistake, thinking it was a normal Epicor Sales Email.

Question is now does this apply to all costing types as long as you have the Enable Mfg Cost Elements checked?

Same I never received one. But I dont think our Version on Epicor Customer Portal is up to date, another reason to keep profile up to date.

I contacted support to double check. We are on 10.2.400.5. I was told our version was not affected.
