Combine Warehouse Orders End Item | If you report an end-item quantity as completed, you can choose to receive the end items in the warehouse immediately, or in a later stage. Usually, for every quantity that is received in the warehouse, a production warehouse order line is generated. If you receive the end items in the warehouse in a later stage, you can use this check box to combine production warehouse order lines, which limits database growth. If this check box is selected, and you do not immediately receive the completed quantities in the warehouse, production warehouse order lines for the completed end-item quantities are combined into one production warehouse order line. As a result, the number of receipt transactions and variance transactions is reduced. If this check box is cleared, and you do not immediately receive the completed quantities in the warehouse, a production warehouse order line is created for every completed quantity. Note If completed quantities are received immediately in the warehouse, this check box has no effect. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Combine production warehouse order lines.

Financial Transactions by Work Center | If this check box is selected, you can view the production results by work center. The material costs and the hours costs are posted to the work center to which these costs apply. If this check box is cleared, you can view the production results by production order. The surcharges, as well as the material costs and the hours costs, are posted to the production order's calculation office. Note The calculation office currency is also used for unlinked materials, that is, if a production order has no operations and no work centers, but only materials. Currencies When you calculate the estimated costs, and a Dependent currency system is used, the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box also determines the currency that is used: If the check box is selected (production results by work center), the local currency of the costing work center for which the costs are calculated is used. If the check box is cleared (production results by production order), the currency of the calculation office is used. Estimated end item unit costs The calculation of the estimated end item unit costs depends on the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box and the cost view, that is, whether the costs are work-center-based or item-based:
Financial transactions by work center | Work center based costs | Item based costs
--- | --- | ---
No | 1 | 2
Yes | 3 | 4
1: The total end item unit costs are posted for each work center by detailed cost component. The only work center available is the calculation office. The costs are expressed in the calculation office's currency. 2: The total end item unit costs are posted for the calculation office by the item's effective cost component structure. The costs are expressed in the calculation office's currency. 3: The total end item unit costs are posted for a costing work center or a calculation office by detailed cost component. The costs on a work center include operation costs and material costs. The costs on the calculation office include (added) end item surcharges and the costs for unlinked materials. The costs are expressed in the local currency of the costing work center. 4: The total end item unit costs are posted for the calculation office by the item's effective cost component structure. The costs are expressed in the calculation office's currency. Note You can view the end item unit costs, work center-based as well as item-based, in the End Item Unit Costs (ticst0510m000) session. WIP transfers If the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box is cleared, WIP transfers are not calculated. Because the production results are viewed by production order, the costs are posted on the production order's calculation office, and no costs are posted on the work centers. Consequently, there is no need to calculate WIP transfers between different work centers. Calculating efficiency/price variances If a production order is closed, the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box determines on which level efficiency variances and price variances are calculated. The posting, however, depends on the posting methods that are defined in the following fields: Posting Method Efficiency Variances on Calculation Office Posting Method Price Variances to Calculation Office Posting Method Efficiency Variances on Calculation Office Posting Method Price Variances to Calculation Office Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Financial transactions by work center. Related topics Calculate estimated end item unit-costs of a production order WIP transfer Costing work centers

Related topics Reporting quantities as completed and rejected Cost components in Manufacturing
Use Actual Cost Price for Receipt Posting | If this check box is selected, end items are received in inventory at their actual costs, and valued according to the defined actual valuation method. Valuation method are defined in Warehouse Management. The actual valuation methods are: Mov. Aver. Unit Cost (MAUC) First In First Out (FIFO) Last In First Out (LIFO) Lot Price (Lot) If you use actual costing, in principle no variances exist. Only additional calculation-office variances can occur. Additional calculation-office variances are variances that cannot be attributed to prices or efficiency. For example, if you start producing smaller orders than the economic lot size, your setup costs increase. The standard cost price is based on the economic order size, so the rise of the setup costs can create an additional calculation-office variance. If this check box is cleared, fixed transfer price (FTP) is used as valuation method. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth.
