The Average Cost field in the Costing tab of the P/N Master window refers to the average cost of a part in local currency. This figure reacts to several Inventory Transactions. Through the transaction types listed below, the Average Cost field is recalculated.

The transaction types that adjust the Average Cost are the following:

_____________________________________________________________________________________

P/N/S/N-CHG

A component that's P/N or Serial Number has been changed via Inventory/Update/Inventory Transaction/ P/N S/N Change button.

P/N MASTER

If there is manual change to the Average Cost via Settings/Update/P/N Costing tab.

INITIAL RECEIVING

The first time a P/N is received in the system if the P/N is INITIAL/LOAD with the Receiving Inspection performed.

RTS

A P/N that has been returned to stock with the 'Removed from A/C or Known Inventory' Transaction radio button selected.

RETURN/TO/VENDOR

A P/N that is returned to the vendor.

PO/RECEIVING

A Purchase Order that has been received.

Note: When an Average Cost P/N is made interchangeable to another part via the Change P/N to Interchangeable button of the P/N Master window, the average cost of the main part is recalculated. When this takes place a 'PNMSTADJ' order transaction is created against the PO/RECEIVING transaction. For more information refer to the Change P/N to Interchangeable Button via the Setting Training Manual.

INTMAIN

This takes place when an Interchangeable P/N is swapped with the Main P/N and the Fixed Assets are also swapped between the two. For this functionality to take place, G/L Interface Switch FAMAIN must be set to Yes. For more information refer to the G/L Interface Switches Manual and the Interchange Swap Main Button via the Settings Training Manual.

Note: This transaction now references the average cost increase or decrease resulting from the conversion of a both-way interchangeable to a new main part number.

INVOICE

A P/N that has different order and invoice prices. (For more information refer to the topic PO/INVOICE via the G/L Interface manual.

R/I

A P/N or the quantity received has been changed via Receiving/Update/Receiving Inspection.

SUP/UPDATE

A P/N that is changed via Inventory/Update/Inventory Supervisor.

EX/RECEIVING

When an Exchange Order where the P/N being sent is not both way interchangeable with the P/N being received, the Average Cost for the part will be recalculated.

RMVINS

If there is a remove/install transaction via Technical Records/Update/A/C P/N Transactions where a Interchangeable P/N has been installed with the G/L Interface Switch FARMVINS configured to 'Yes' then an Average Cost recalculation will be recorded. Additionally, if the parts being installed and removed do not have Fixed Asset records, the recalculation of the cost does not occur.

Note: These P/Ns cannot be both way interchangeable for average cost recalculation to occur.

SR/RECEIVING

A Sales Order Return that has been received.

WO/PROD

When a 'Modified to P/N' P/N Engineering Control with the 'Modify to in Production/ Shop' checkbox selected is completed against a Production Work Order, the new P/N Average Cost will recalculate upon the Post-Completion or Closing of that Work Order.
