PNMAINTOINTER - P/N Interchangeable to Main Inventory and Journal Entries Creation

P/N Interchangeable to Main Inventory and Journal Entries Creation

Affected Window: w_pn_master_eu

Switch Set to Yes:

When set to Yes, a part that is changed from Main to Interchangeable or Interchangeable to Main will create Journal Entries whether or not the two parts have the same Average Cost.

Note: In order for this switch to function properly, the P/N Category for the parts must have P/N Costing Method: Average Cost via the P/N Category transaction code. For more information refer to the P/N Category via the Settings Transaction Code Manual.

For example, notice the following two parts have the same Average Cost.

Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 2 is then made an interchangeable of Part 1 via the Change P/N to Interchangeable button of the P/N Master window.

When Part 2 is searched for in the P/N Master, Part 1 appears.

From the Inventory Detail Transaction History window, notice that a 'VALUE/ADJ' Transaction Type and a 'MAIN TO INTCHG' Reference transaction were registered for Part 1.

A 'VALUE/ADJ' Transaction Type and a 'MAIN TO INTCHG' Reference transaction was also registered for Part 2.

From the Journal Entry Detail Query, notice that Journal Entries were created for Part 1.

Journal Entries were also created for Part 2.

Note: Journal Entries would have also been created if the Average Cost of the parts were not the same.

Part 2 is then changed from an Interchangeable of Part 1 to a Main part by selecting the Interchangeable Create Main button of the P/N Interchangeablity window. Once Part 2 is made a Main part, transactions are created for both parts.

From the Inventory Detail Transaction History window, notice that a 'VALUE/ADJ' Transaction Type and a 'INTCHG TO MAIN' Reference transaction were registered for Part 1 (even though the parts have the same Average Cost).

A 'VALUE/ADJ' Transaction Type and a 'INTCHG TO MAIN' Reference transaction were also registered for Part 2.

While inventory transactions were created for both parts, Journal Entries were only created for Part 2 (even though both parts have the same Average Cost).

Switch Set to No:

When set to No, a part that is changed from Main-to-Interchangeable or Interchangeable-to-Main will not trigger Journal Entries if the two parts have the same Average Cost.

For example, notice the following two parts have the same Average Cost. Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 2 is then made an interchangeable of Part 1 via the Change P/N to Interchangeable button of the P/N Master window.

When Part 2 is searched for in the P/N Master, Part 1 appears.

From the Inventory Detail Transaction History window, notice that a 'VALUE/ADJ' Transaction Type was not registered for Part 1 or Part 2.

Also notice that a 'MAIN TO INTCHG' Reference transaction was not registered for the parts either.

From the Journal Entry Detail Query, notice that the parts did not trigger Journal Entry creation since both parts had the same Average cost.
