Standard Costing: PO Receipt History Audit

Avatar photoCustomer August 26, 2019 at 4:00 pm

We are a Standard Cost organization and need a detailed report on Purchase Order Receipt History for comparison against our Frozen cost type. Which report is best for this scenario?

      Use the CAC PO Receipt History for Item Costing report. This report shows PO Receipt History for a selected date range and is generally suitable for any discrete costing method.

      If I do not specify a ‘Comparison Cost Type’ parameter, what cost type will the report use by default?

      If the ‘Comparison Cost Type’ is not entered, the report defaults to using the Cost Type defined in the Primary Costing Method, such as Frozen, Average, FIFO, or LIFO.

      The documentation mentions that this report might be a better choice for Standard Costing than the ‘Actual Costing’ variant. Why?

      The ‘Actual Costing’ report includes specific columns like prior costed quantity, prior cost, and new onhand quantity, which typically have zero or empty values in a Standard Cost organization. The Item Costing report is structured for broader applicability, including comparison against a selected cost type.
