Hi,
When in the inter-site process a customer order is shipped, following two inventory transactions are created:
SHIPTRAN: Ship Customer Order Internal Transit
INTORDTR: Move to Internal Order Transit due to Issue
When a shipment is cancelled, it is reversed using following two inventory transactions:
UNINTORDTR: Reversal of Move to Internal Order Transit due to Issue
UNSHIPTRAN: Undo Ship Customer Order Internal Transit
When executing "Reversal of Move to Internal Order Transit due to Issue" (UNINTORDTR), the costs (INTORDTR) are not returned in the same amount.
Instead, the costs are recalculated according to the FIFO principle.
This can result in differences, which then remain as a balance on the transfer account.
Example Part No SP065137
The quantity of 30’000 was delivered at a unit cost of 0.026073 = total cost 782.19
The transaction was cancelled immediately afterwards, but with different unit costs of 0.020023 = total cost 600.69
The difference of 181.50 remains as a balance amount in the transfer account.
I’m aware that discrepancies can occur in certain cases when using the "First In First Out" (FIFO) inventory valuation method. However, in the event of a cancellation, I would expect the transaction to be reversed with identical costs.
Is this normal behaviour or can something be adjusted?
We are using IFS APPS10 UPD18.
Thanks and best regards,
Madeleine
