The system date will be proposed by default. You can change this date, but only to a date after the latest closing. |
Specification |
The option that you select determines the level of detail that will be posted to the general ledger. This field is available only if the Update ledger option is also selected. If you select the Total option, the sum values for each unique ledger account will be posted to the general ledger as a total figure. For example: Inventory close is to make settlements to five different items. If the transactions to be adjusted all contain the same general ledger account numbers, inventory close adds the values posted and creates only one general ledger journal entry: Debit:13000 (inventory control), USD 35.00 Credit: 51000 (COGS),USD 35.00 If you select the Item group option, the sum values for each unique item group will be posted to the general ledger. For example: Inventory close is to make settlements to five different items. These items belong to three different item groups. A separate transaction will be posted in the general ledger to summarize each item group. Debit: 13000 (Inventory for item group A), USD 12.00 Debit: 13000 (Inventory for item group B), USD 10.00 Debit: 13000 (Inventory for item group C), USD 13.00 Credit:51000 (Cost of Goods Sold for item group A), USD 12.00 Credit:51000 (Cost of Goods Sold for Item group B), USD10.00 Credit:51000 (Cost of Goods Sold for item group C), USD 13.00 If you select the Item number option, the value for each unique item will be posted to the general ledger. For example: Inventory close is to make settlements to five different items. These items belong to three different item groups. The transaction posted in the general ledger will be a summary based on the item group. Debit:13000 (Inventory for item 1), USD 5.00 Debit: 13000 (Inventory for item 2), USD 7.00 Debit:13000 (Inventory for item 3), USD 10.00 Debit: 13000 (Inventory for item 4), USD 4.00 Debit: 13000 (Inventory for item 5), USD 9.00 Credit: 51000 (Cost of Goods Sold for item 1), USD 5.00 Credit: 51000 (Cost of Goods Sold for Item 2), USD 7.00 Credit:51000 (Cost of Goods Sold for item 3), USD 10.00 Credit: 51000 (Cost of Goods Sold for Item 4), USD 4.00 Credit: 51000 (Cost of Goods Sold for Item 5), USD 9.00 |

Enter a note to be shown in the overview of closing and adjustments. These notes can be viewed after inventory recalculation has completed. |
Maximum throughputs |
The number of iterations inventory close will perform during the close process The default is 50. A high figure gives on circularity a closer approximate cost price but a worse performance. Maximum throughputs are used for Bill of Material accuracy and Inventory Transfer accuracy. Bill of material example: Finished Good (level 0) Subassembly (level 1) Subassembly (level 2) Subassembly (level 3) Subassembly (level 4) Subassembly (level 5) If the maximum throughput value is 4, again the lowest level of the BOM structure is 5, any cost changes that might have occurred on level 5 will not appear in the finished good item. |
Minimum throughput adjustment |
Works with Maximum throughputs. The value entered for Minimum throughput adjustment represents the minimum currency amount to be reflected in the next level. The default is 1.00. A low figure gives on circularity a closer approximate cost price but a worse performance. The value that you enter should be at least as deep as the lowest level in a Bill of Material. Bill of material example: Finished Good (level 0) Component A (level 1) Component B (level 1) Assume that the maximum throughput value is larger than 2 and the minimum throughput adjustment is set to USD 5.00. If the Component B item has a settlement that is less than USD 5.00, the cost of this settlement will not be rolled-up and reflected in the cost of the finished good item. |
