Title: SM-J-C
Post by cathyh on 04/04/06 at 08:11:51

We run the reconcile inventory every month end, and sometimes we run it on the first or second day of the next month if the last day falls badly (WEEKEND!)
Usually when we run type A transaction reconciliation and inventory transactions are generated, we have a post to the GL. This month there were no posts for the transactions made. That is kind of disturbing.

I wish there was a way to date the reconcile run, instead of the date having to be on the day you run it. We have transactions listed on 4/3 that have affected the total count on 3/31/06 which is the freeze date. I will put this in the wish list post also.

I'm wrong about the posts-- at least they weren't done the last time we ran the transaction rec type A. I am wondering now when and why I saw transactions after reconciling master and transaction. ???

Let's change the subject on this to"BIG OUCH!!!!!"

I also run SM-J-C every month. If I don't have and $ or * items, I don't worry.

However, last month and this month I didn't have any lines with $ or * but it did change my inventory without a GL transaction of any kind!

Please fix the & and * field so I know when I have to do manual entries! I have a 5K adjustment without knowing why! Since I threw the report away.

Do you usually run this report at the master and trans level at the same time? Also, do you prefer to use method A or B?

We always run the master first, and then the transaction. We used to just run the transaction without doing report mode first, and we would run type A. However, after discovering an instance where we should have run a B type, we now always run in report mode first and analyze the data to see which mode we need to run. Sometimes we run differently for different part numbers on the report.
We always have a lot of master changes( these seem to be just record changes such as UOH or allocations in inventory Location file not matching inventory master file), and none have an impact on the GL.

Transaction adjustments nearly always have an impact, but fortunately we are having just a few or none each month.
