balancing inventory to general ledger??
02/21/05 at 12:35:50
 
Does anyone know of a report that can compare, item by item, all inventory transactions to the general ledger inventory account by date and/or transaction type?  Our monthly inventory transactions never tie to the G/L and we are trying to found out why and how to correct it.  Does anyone else have this out of balance problem?

Yes, others have that issue. As to the report, you would need to create this in either Crystal or MS Access.

Okay.  Unfortunately, I have obsoletely no experience in either one.  I have never created a custom report and do not know how to begin one.

I have a crystal report we use to balance inventory against G/L.
I am home with a sick kid today, but I will find it tomorrow and share it.

Kevin,  
 
If you could share that report with me as well, that would be greatly appreciated as I have been having a similar problem.  Thanks so much!

I'm just getting started with DBA and I already see that this is a huge balancing act.  Could you share that report program with me as well.  I do not like to re-invent if I don't need to.  In advance, thanks for you help.

Everyone,
Please accept my sincere apologies for not responding to these requests.
I have been totally immersed in a firmware project for one of  
our products and have not had time to check into this as I had promised.
 
What I have is a small php script that allows the accountant to get a quick value
of each of our Inventory asset accounts so that we then adjust the GL to it.
 
We use this script instead of the value reports because we usually do not want the individual
item detail.  Instead, we just want current values for the inventory asset accounts.
 
Again, I apologize for not responding in a timely fashion.

We also have a huge problem with this each month.  Part of our problem seems to stem from working on work orders after finished production has been posted.  We have to post finished production to post sales.  Backing the figures in and out of work orders once the sale has been posted creates its own set of problems with inventory.  
 
For us, these adjustments have become the norm, which is disturbing.  Our previous system we could balance wip & inventory to the penny.   With DBA we have wild swings.  Sometimes the WIP & inventory swings cancel each other out, sometimes not.
 
The shear number of transactions prohibits figuring out where the breakdown exists each month.

We post sales the day AFTER shipment is made.  This provides for entering labor to the work order for the day of the shipment as sometimes things are worked on the same day they ship, and the act of releasing packing slips does not require finished production to be entered.
After labor is entered, we verify all material is issued to the work order, then enter finished production.  In SO-G, posting invoices, COGS are checked in the pre-post report before effectuating the final post. This provides for correcting COGS that appear to be out of line before posting.
 
COGS are accurate 99.5% of the time.  Variation between finished goods book value and IN-F is minimal.
