Item Cost decimal point precision not correct

Hello,
I tried finding a thread in here that would answer my question, but I haven't found one yet.
What I'm noticing on certain Item Master records is that the Item Cost isn't being calculated using the correct amount of decimal places. I've set it to display 4 decimal places in the System Initialization area for Prices, Amounts, and Rates but that just tacks on more zeroes. I also haven't set any of the currency settings to anything other than "Default". Here is an example of what is happening and hopefully it will be clearer what is going on.
I have an item that we have purchased for 0.22 dollars and a Customs Group precentage set to 10%. This should result in an Item Cost of 0.2420 dollars. It is actually truncating the result to two decimal places and storing it as 0.2400 dollars. I need it to calculate correctly to four decimal places. We're using Moving Average for the Item Cost calculation and in this case all individual Item Costs are the same from PO to PO for the same part (so the Moving Average shouldn't figure in at all) although that might not always be the case.
This is only happening on certain items and I'm not sure what the difference is between the incorrect and correct ones. If someone has any idea why this is happening this way only for some parts, please let me know. Any information would be much appreciated. By the way, I'm using SBO2005A SP01 PL31.
Thanks in advance,
Brent

Thank you everyone who has replied.
Gordon, I don't really have a good way to find out how many are affected. This could be a very big issue or a small one. I'll look into finding a pattern probably on Monday and see if there's something down that road.
Jesper, this was something that came up in my mind before posting originally, but for all I've seen, it seems like everything should be calculating to 4 decimal places. As for the 6 settings, I have Amounts set to 2 (although I've tried 4 and it didn't seem to fix the problem so I reset it back to 2), Prices and Rates as 4, Quantities as 0, Percent and Units as 3. I think these are fine as is. I could be wrong though. The other reason I don't think these are a problem is because only certain items are having problems. Hence why I need to find some sort of pattern.
Bishal, I am not a Channel Partner, just a Customer. So it won't let me login to get to that. If you have another way of getting that to me, then that would be great. If not, thank you for trying.
I probably won't be doing anything with this until Monday. So there won't be a whole lot of updates until then at least. Thank you all for your responses and hopefully soon I can figure this out.

Precision to two decimal points and...

How do I format an output line for two decimal point precision with a double variable?

What is the best way to clear the screen? I am using the sun compiler with Windows 2000.

He's right, using Java to clear the screen is not pretty. Here is a rudementary solution:
public class ClearScreen {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      //clear the screen
      String[] commands = new String[4];
      commands[0] = "mode.com";
      commands[1] ="con";
      commands[2] = "cols=80";
      commands[3] = "lines=50";
      try {
         Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commands);
      } catch (java.io.IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace(); }
      //print a formatted decimal number (see DecimalFormat API to format the way you want)
      double someNumber = 1234347.657687;
      java.text.DecimalFormat formatter = new java.text.DecimalFormat("#,##0.00;(#,##0.00)");
      System.out.println(formatter.format(someNumber));

Do NOT display decimal points for 1 currency

Dear Friends,
i have a report which shows the revenue of all countries. we have a target currency (variable) in the report.if we give that target currency as EUR, it changes al currencies into EUR. similarly if we give USD, the report will change all currencies to USD with decimal points
But the requirement here is, for all other countries, the decimal points shud get displayed for the revenue, but only for Korea curreny (WON) the decimal points shud not be dispayed.
in the table TCURC, for Korea it is maintained as " whole numbers only ".
is there a way to achieve this??
Rgds.,
ASha

Hi Yogesh,
Thank you for ur reply.
in the report, i have 10 keyfigures. 4 are being picked up from the report and they have currency translation variable. The rest 6 are formulas. On these formulae, i restricted the decimal display to "nothing defined". it works fine for all the 6 formulae. for WON it does NOT show decimals and for the rest of the currencies, it shows decimals.
but how this can be achieved on the 4 direct keyfigures??
Rgds.,

Currency Decimal Points - Urgent

Hi,
I am facing a serious problem with currency decimal points. Unfortunately "Currency code" has been deleted from where we can maintain currency decimal points in OY04 Tcode and the currency code was maintained by zero decimal places. Before deleting the Currency from decimal points the document currency was showing $1000.00 which is correct. But after deleting Currency Code from OY04 Tcode the same amount is showing $100000 by combining decimals.
I have again given same Currency Code in same transaction code. But still it is showing ($100000) the amount by combing the decimals.
Please help me
Thanks
Ravindra

You said someone "unfortunately" deleted an entry from table TCURX. Has that someone seen all the following WARNINGS given by SAP!!!
In a productive system, you must not delete the currencies in use or change the decimal places. This could make amounts in documents already posted incorrect or invalid.
Before you continue, please read the following text carefully. If you do not heed this note, you can cause irreparable damage to the system with this transacton. In the R/3 System tables currency fields are stored as decimal figures with a variable number of decimal places. The decimal point is not stored in the field in the database. Instead, each currency field refers to a currency key field. In this transaction you assign the number of decimal places to this currency key uniquely. Example: If you have set currency USD to have two decimal places and you post an amount of 100 USD, an amount of 10000 USD is stored in the currency field in the database. Not until this amount is processed further or is output does the system use the currency key from the reference field to determine the number of decimal places via this table. In this way the table content can be interpreted correctly for further processing or formatted for output with the correct punctuation. If after posting you changed the number of decimal places for USD, for example, to 3, the existing field content of 10000 would be interpreted for futher processing or output as 10 USD (10.000). This would mean that the contents of tables across the system would, for all currency fields containing an amount in USD, be interpreted incorrectly by 10 per cent. To
change the number of decimal places for a currency already in use, you must convert all the tables in the R/3 System that contain
currency fields, so that the data integrity remains. This cannot, however, for both organizational reasons and under the runtime aspect be carried out in a productive system. The following changes to the TCURX table can thus lead to the loss of data integrity if you
make the changes in a productive system or transport them into a productive system:
o Change to the number of decimal places of an existing currency
o Deletion of an entry from the TCURX table (corresponds to changing the decimal places to the standard value of two decimal places)
o Insertion of an entry in the TCURX (corresponds to changing the standard value of 2 decimal places to a different value), if this is a currency code that already exists Uncritical changes are any made to this table during the Customizing of a new installation or the insertion of TCURX even during operations, if the currency codes have just been entered in the TCURC table using transaction OY03, signifying that no postings to these currency codes can have been carried out yet.
Do you want to change the decimal places despite all recommendations?

Decimal points for Item Cost

Hi,
When i call out the query from OITM which has the average price (item cost), the result showed me in 2 decimal points. But in my item master data, it shows 3 decimal points. How can call out a query that shows 3 decimal points? Is there any condition i should use?
Thanks,
Rgds,
Harith

Hello Harith, I will test this issue on pl36 to see if it's reproducible. anyway, you are always suggested to patch up with the latest patch. I will let you know the result.
Just tested and I got the same result as my previously reply, it shows 3 decimals witch complies with both general settings> decimal places for price and item cost in Item master data.
please try to recall the Avgprice from OITW table to see what you get there.
Thank you.

Item cost not found for one or more items - Inventory Posting

Good Day Mentors,
My user has encountered an error during Inventory Posting and its "Item cost not found for one or more items".
The specific Message ID from SAP's System Message Log is 10001287.
I found a similar post which addresses this error here.
But unfortunately it did not help me solve my user's problem.
I already checked if the items had a defined "Item Cost" in the Item Master Data Inventory Tab, and they all have "Item Cost" defined.
I'm not sure if this will help, but below is the Inventory Audit Report of one of the items that is throwing the "Item cost not found" error.
I am not a business consultant neither am I literate in accounting, so thanks for the patience.
SAP Version: 9.0 PL5
Valuation Method: Moving Average
Thanks in advance!
Sean

Hi Augusto and Raviraj,
I've already verified in our production database the points you made:
- Is the "Manage Item cost per warehouse" selected in the Basic Initialization Screen?
YES
- Is the "Manage Inventory by Warehouse" ticked/checked in the "Inventory Data" tab of the "Item Master Data" screen?
YES
* I apologize for not have been able to give this information upfront.
Anyway, the database only has one warehouse at the moment.
I've checked the items, like the item in the screen shot above, and it does have an item cost.
Below is the screenshot of the sample item from my original post,
Thanks in advance!

Decimal Places in Item Cost must be 6 characters while in Journal Entry 2.

I have the following problem:
Accounting needs to see and work with 2 decimal places, but the item cost is needed in 6 decimals.
If I register a A/P Invoice and i go to the Journal Remark, the Journal Entry should be in 2 decimals. If i look for the Item Cost on the Wharehouse this cost should be in 6 decimals.
Is there a way to handle Accounting in 2 units and Cost in 6 Units
Thank You very much

Hi Saul,
The request appears illogical, how can the accountant work with 2 decimal places & the item valuation is held with 6? The stock account with 2 decimals will never match the stock audit report with 6 decimals.
I'm afraid the SAP Business One core functionality does not cater for this need. There are no 'behind the scenes' journal entries. A JE is legally binding so you need to decide whether you wish to work with the most accurate calculations regarding item cost as possible (6 decimals) or accommodate the accountants & work with 2 decimals in the journals.
You might want to take the nature of the stock into consideration, if there are huge quantities at small individual prices 6 decimals might be better, if you use mainly standard cost &/or have no major cost fluctuations when using MAP/FIFO, 2 decimals might be sufficient.
All the best,
Kerstin

TS3297 iTunes puts up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one. How I can clear that messag

I've been running iTunes on WinXP for years with few problems. I have all my iTunes files on an external USB drive. I just bought a new PC running Win7, 64-bit.
I connected the external USB drive to the new PC and installed 64-bit iTunes on it. When iTunes started up, I pointed it at the iTunes directory in the external drive, using Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location. It showed a progress bar that it was updating the iTunes Library. I signed in and authorized the new machine. I have one spare authorization.
Then iTunes put up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one.
When I click OK, the iTunes Store page remains blank, apart from saying "iTunes Store" in the middle of the page.
I went to "View My Account" and pressed the Reset button to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading items", but that doesn’t fix this particular warning. I also tried Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Warnings and Rest Cache.
But still, every time I click the “App Store” button in the iTunes Store window, the message appears. If I click the Books, Podcasts or iTunesU buttons, these display normally. So I’m stuck with being unable to purchase apps, other than through my iPad and iPhone.
If I move the external drive back to the XP machine, the same thing happens. If I go to another PC - a notebook running Vista - everything is normal.
Any idea how I can clear that message?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Further info on my question above.
I have tried re-validating my credit card, which apparently fixed it for some.
I have also tried uninstalling, re-downloading and installing again.
Neither of these steps fixed the problem.

Error while adding the issue for production (item cost not found)

Hi all,
The scenario is,
when the user is trying to add the issue for production system is showing error item cost not
found.The item which is issued is Inventory + purchase item with manual issue method.The valuation
method for that item is FIFO.since the valuation method is FIFO,error related to item cost should
not occur.
Since the valuation method is FIFO.Item cost error should not occur.
The error related to item cost must not occur at the time of issue for production.

Item Cost Error
No item cost was found

After yesterday's "upgrade", iTunes can no longer find and play my music library. It points to the correct location in "Advanced", but clearly iTunes is not actually seeing it.

After yesterday's "update", iTunes can no longer find and play my music library. It points to the correct location in "Advanced", but clearly iTunes is not actually seeing it. What gives? And why does Apple force these constant updates that just screw up everything? It was all working fine yesterday before I ran the update.

Does anyone know where I can get support for this issue?

"Cost Rollup - No Report" not updating costs for some items.

Hi ,
We have an issue with "Cost Rollup - No Report" program. When it is run for all items in an Organization, some item costs were not getting updated.
"Include in Cost Rollup" flag in Master Item form and in Item Costs form is enabled for these items. When we run the report for specific item , it is working fine, cost
is getting updated. Only when we run the report for all items of an org, we are having this issue. Any suggestion or help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Pavan.

Hi,
I mean B(Sub Assembly)
Item Rollup Flag
A No
--B Yes
---B1 No
---B2 No
---B3 No
--C Yes
In this case when we run cost rollup by giving item A, Oracle will consider below structure.
A
--C
