Does anyone have a check stub that references the invoice date? I want the
field from AP payment entry = invoice date. Any check stubs out there with
that field already on it? I assume it's some kind of linked table to the
current tables in Crystal. The APtran doesn't have that field available.
We're using the original Crystal check report CHKPRINT.RPT in version 7.
Thank you.

It may be easier to shutdown the database using ProControl.
If only 1 user is allowed to access Vantage, create a single
user .vtg file.

The single user .vtg file is the same file you use to access vantage
normally, except for the connect options.
Usually they look like
connectoptions= -N TCP -H Server -S vantage

for single user replace it with connectoptions = -1

also very handy for patches and data conversions.

Basically None. However, if you are very creative,
I have been able to do sort of a bar graph. example:

|xxxxxxxxxxx
|xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|xxxxx
|xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|xxx
|xxxxxxxxxxxx

What you do is to generate a line of characters
(in this case "x") using the FILL command.
Its crude but it does work.

Lydia,

When we do a reciept from manufacturing a cost does not always show up. If
no cost show I have instructed my inventory control people to back out of
the reciept until we can fix or determing the costs manually.

We are costing using average costs.

As far as I can tell, quanities move but the costs stay at zero. We have
verified this becase we watch for manaufactured items with quanitities but
costs are zero. Our CFO has been indicating to me that our Inventory $ seem
to be understated and this may be the problem.

Wayne:

A couple of questions: When you do the receipt from manufacturing, does a
cost show on that data entry screen?

Are you costing your manufactured parts at Average, Standard or Last?

If it is standard, do you have an actual number in the Standard cost for
that part? This would be found under Inventory Management, General Ops,
Cost Adjustment. If no cost shows in receipt from manufacturing, nothing is
going to move into inventory. Check it out.

Hi Group,

We seem to be having a problem with bringing costs into inventory from
reciept manufacturing. Perhaps you guru's out there can give me a tip as to
why.

When a job is complete we bring back finished parts and any subassemblies
back to stock using receipt from manufacturing. On occasion when we do this
the costs don't want to roll in. They come in as $0.00. However, when you
go to Job tracker and view the costs they are there.

Data collection here is not the swiftest in the world but what I've heard
from the rest of you ELECPAC is not alone. We tried completing operations
using job adjustment but that doesn't always work either.

Does anybody know what triggers these costs to roll in to inventory from
receipt from manufacturing?

Wayne Katzenberger

Set up a new aggregate for the Group total. Make it a count
aggregate, reset the count for whatever group, or no reset for
entire report, and then under advanced, accumulate on whatever
group level you are looking to count. Good luck.

How new is your database? If you have only recently initialized Vantage,
then there is no data in there to average. Your accounting dept. needs to
go in there and enter a cost (Inventory Mgmt, GenOps, Cost Adjustment)-or
you can have them look at the cost (from the job) at the time of the receipt
and enter that. We have a cost in all of our parts - Manufactured are
Standard Costed and Purchased are Average-this was a decision made by our
Accountant after attending the Controllers' Workshop. The manufactured
items are then reviewed periodically and costs are adjusted.

From: Greg Clauser <gclauser@...>
Subject: RE: Receipt from mfg. costs

We also use average costing and discovered the same "zero cost"
transactions. With a new part, if you receive it into stock before all the
labor (and subcontract) transactions that produced it are processed the cost
will be wrong. What's worse (and even easer to do) is to "backflush" or
issue a stocked sub-component to another job (or ship it to a customer)
before it gets a cost established from a MFG-STK transaction.
These timing problems can play havoc with costs applied all the way down the
line. The only practical solution we've found was to establish and enter a
"starting point" cost when creating a new part. We're on average costing
but I have the system calculate the standard cost and plug that in as the
starting average cost. However, any old ballpark guess at what the cost
should be is way better than leaving it blank. Wish they had covered this
little "gotcha" in implementation/training. Average cost in Vantage seems
to have a lot of potholes you have to watch out for. Negative inventory
balances, adjustments when jobs close, and backflushing can all screw things
up big time. Do not even attempt to "auto-receive" unless you are on
standard cost.
