Allow Updates box in Average  cost type

Dear all
In a Multi-Org environment, in the Cost Types Window, CSTFDCTP,
(Navigation Path: Cost/Setup/Cost Types),
i try to check the Allow Updates box in Average cost type
i get the following message:
FRM-40200: Field is protected against update.
I know This is the functionality when the Multi-Organization flag is enabled. The
Allow Updates flag is never changeable
Any workaround??

The
Allow Updates flag is never changeable while the Multi-Organization flag is set
to YES, and the Multi-Organization flag is not changeable once set.
The reasoning is to prevent you from going into the cost types form in
one organization, thinking you are changing the properties for just that
organization. In actuality, changes to a Multi-Organization cost type affect
that cost type across all organizations.
Solution Description
As a workaround:
1)Create the same cost type in each organization separately.
2)Leave the Multi-Organization flag set to NO (unchecked).
This will allow a change to the Allow Updates flag for each organization
separately.

  • Assembly cost rollup using Average costs

    Hi
    I'm working on 11.5.5 On Vision instance on Solaris.
    I did an Assembly cost rollup of an assembly in an Average Costed Oraganisation ( M3 - Dallas Manufacturing ) . The resource costs , overhead costs are getting rolled up , but the Material and Material Overhead Elements costs are not getting rolled up . Can any one help me on this ?
    I have defined an Average cost type of each of the components involved and the assembly , set the default as this cost type itself ( User defined - AvgRates). I have chosen 'Include in Rollup ' for all the components and the assembly. Chosen 'Based on roll' option for only the assembly - disabled it for the components.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Rajesh Shinde

    Hi,
    Why you need to rollup the cost for average costing? You will get the cost of this while you do the job close..
    You need to do the cost rollup for std cost to fix the cost for the assembly...

  • "Cost Rollup - No Report"  - allow updates getting flipped to No

    Hi ,
    We have an issue with "Cost Rollup - No Report" program.
    When running the 'Cost Rollup - No Report' job in Oracle for the any cost type, whether it is all items or range of items, the 'allow updates' flag for the that cost type keeps getting flipped in the 'Cost Types' form. The flipping of this flag is preventing us from updating any costs in ERP. Can you please advise why this flag keeps getting flipped so we can prevent in the future?
    Thanks in advance,
    Abhishek

    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

  • Average cost update

    Hi,
    Average cost is used for valuing inventories. There is an average cost update program that is run every 3 minutes. At times there have been significant changes to the cost (100 times or more) for the material and we are unable to find the source or logic for such changes and how the same has been calculated.
    Is there any document on how the program works and is there an audit trail of entries passed by the average cost update to understand the source and logic of such entries.
    Thanks in advance

    Srikant,
    Sorry for the late response. Iam running the cost interface using Cost Import Interface. while running the interface the "cost type to import to " parameter has only one value in the LOV which is "Pending" (Pending Standard Cost Type). Since its passing Std cost as default parameter and iam trying to run the average cost its failing. The following is the code i have written..
    INSERT INTO CST_ITEM_CST_DTLS_INTERFACE
    (INVENTORY_ITEM_ID
    ,ORGANIZATION_ID
    ,COST_TYPE_ID
    ,RESOURCE_CODE
    ,USAGE_RATE_OR_AMOUNT
    ,COST_ELEMENT_ID
    ,PROCESS_FLAG
    ,last_update_date
    , last_updated_by
    , creation_date
    , created_by )
    VALUES
    (v_inventory_item_id,

    'Material',
    nvl(item_rec.item_cost,0)
    ,1
    ,1
    , sysdate
    , 1
    , sysdate
    , 1);
    Please let me know where iam going wrong. Is there any additional setup i need to do.

    I think there is some confusion.
    "Mass Edit Material Costs" program is used to apply new activity rates to item costs. For this, you don't have to insert records in the interface. You have to define/update the new activity rates using screen.
    To process records in the cost interface tables, you have to run the "Cost Import Process" program.
    For more details, refer to http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A60725_05/html/comnls/us/cst/settas06.htm

  • Movement types and effects on moving average cost

    Hi all,
    can anybody explain me what is moviment type n° 309 (transaction mb1b).
    Before of this movement I had in the storage a stock of 15.000 KG and a moving average cost of 6,70 u20AC.
    Then I did a movement 309 in MB1B for 4.050 kg.
    After that I did a movement 261 (probably with transaction qa11) for 11850,300.
    After these movements my moving average cost decreased to 1,29.
    what kind of movement are 309 and 261?
    Can they change my moving average cost?
    thank you
    C.

    Hello Vallex,
    Mvt type 309 is materia to material/batch to batch/valuation type to valuation type transfer. If you have different different price for both material then definately it will change your moving average price.
    However, 261 is issue to production order and that will not change your moving average price. it will take material price from material master into the accouting document.
    Hope this helps.

  • CSTPACHK package extension: Auto Account Generation in Average Costing

    Dear All,
    I would like to use the client extension, for the account generation while doing a material transaction.
    The costing type of ours is Average.
    Currently, when a material transaction is been made from one subinventory to another.
    it is showing the source subinventory DFF account for both debit and credit lines in the Material transaction - distributions,
    which ideally we need to have the source (Credit) and target (Debit) subinventories material accounts in the DFF of Subinventories
    Does anyone have a working example of the CSTPACHK package extension for Auto Account Generation in Average Costing
    if any Please update...?
    Many thanks in advance...
    Edited by: santark on Feb 2, 2010 2:50 PM

    Hi,
    Can you please advise the steps you did for CSTPACHK extension, we have the requirement (Average costing) where we need to get the different material account id (one segment of the GL account should be overwritten)for the Transaction based on the item for the cost manager to cost the transaction.
    Your help is appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Making a text box expand as you type into it?

    I was wondering if it is possible to make a text box (or any kind of box) expand as you type into it.  Currently the box does not have a caption, I simply want to allow the value box to expand as i type into it.  It would also be great if it would expand to another page...does anyone know if this is possible and if so how can i do it?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated and, yes, that is a mess x about 17.   The good news is I didn't design it -- the bad news is I got tagged to try and fix it.
    I'll try to answer in order:
    You haven't used any subforms so it's not going to work as-is.
                        I don't think whoever did the initial form knew about the subform issue so no provisions made for them.
    I won't have time to look at it closely until tonight. Some questions/comments in the meantime:
    Do you really need 2 master pages - does that block need to be at the bottom of each page? Or is it just supposed to follow everything else.
                         the information is to be on the bottom of every page -- clients/workers need to sign each page to prove they have read the information
    You've used tables to do a lot of the layout - probably not a good idea.
                                  if we need to dump the tables, that's fine -  I looked at the 7_Questions_Flowing.pdf from another thread and I can make it work
                                  the way it needs to with the information in a header but they WANT it as a footer.
    You've made the Content Area the full size of the page, better to size it what you want your margins to be.
                                    ok, that should be the easy fix of the batch
    You have no master subform (or any at all for that matter...)
                                 my problem was I couldn't find a way to add a master subform that didn't give me that message.  If I couldn't get that
                                  one to work without the error message then none contained within would either ??

  • How to change average cost of an item?

    We have a scenario where the average cost of the goods has gone completely off of what we think it should be for a few items. Many reasons. But question is how do we change average cost assigned to these items without adding to the inventory?

    Hi,
    You can change the average cost of an item by performing an average cost update.
    The inventory quantity remains unaffected, but depending on whether you are increasing or decreasing the unit cost, the inventory value will get affected to that extent.
    Inventory > Costs > Average Cost Update - query the concerned item and update the cost as required.
    Thanks,

  • Inventory Average Costing Question

    Hi,
    I'm convering onhand quantity from legacy inventory system to Oracle Inventory and we use Average Costing.. Here are the steps.
    1. Converting the items via item import.
    2. Convering onhand quantity with Misc receipts using transactions interface
    3. updating the Average cost of these items via transactions interface .
    When i convert the onhand quantity there is no cost for these items and all the mtl_trasnaction_accounts transactions were created with 0$.. With the average cost update, mtl_trasnaction_accounts transactions were created with $ amount..
    What is the best sequence for reconcilation point iof view with the inventory and GL???
    Please suggest..
    Thanks,
    Shree

    Hi, in my experience the steps you indicates are correct. Anyway, you can avoid step 3 if you put the unit cost directly in the transaction open interface. This is correct only if your costs are not divided in more than one element (eg. you have only the material cost element). If you do in this way, you will see your miscellaneous transactions will have costs and related records on MTL_TRANSACTION_ACCOUNTS will be created with a positive amount.
    As you will know, also when you perform a miscellaneous transactions by using the form, you have the possibility to inidcate the unit cost. Normally you do this if your actual average cost is not correct for your transaction, or if the average cost is 0.
    If you follow this indications, you should not have problem at the moment of the reconciliation with GL.

  • Moving Average Costing

    My clients business buys used equipment on the secondary market that they refurbish & sell. The prices fluctuate pretty dramatically based upon supply and demand; so it really isn't possible to set a standard cost that would be valid throughout the year. Using standard costs results in huge fluctuations in the inventory purchase price variances month over month and quarter of quarter. Therefore, we explored using moving average costing.
    Could someone help me get the moving average to update using PM04, Does SAP actually recommend against using moving average costing?

    Charlie,
        Thanks for your response. If I understand you right, you are suggesting doing STD pricing every month or quarter instead of attempting MAP? Is that right?

  • Why does the system need two average costs - 'Average' and 'Average Rates'?

    Hello Gurus!
    The documentation does give definitions for 'Average' and 'Average Rates' cost types, but at a very basic level.

    I would like to know why the system needs two costs? How are they calculated and how are they used?

    Hello,
    I can suggest you a workaround that will help you keep only the 64-bit version of Photoshop.
    Visit "Uninstall a Program" in Windows 7 Control Panel and uninstall Photoshop completely.
    Visit this page and download trial version of Photoshop.
    Run the installer manually and choose the 64-bit version only (uncheck 32-bit version).
    Launch the product and specify your Adobe ID credentials.
    The product will switch to non-trial (i.e. full) mode when it recognizes your Adobe ID.

  • Rollup Issue On Average Costing Method

    Hi,
    I want to understand correctly the meaning of the rollup on 'Average' costing method.
    As I understand it, the rollup is meaningful on 'standard' costing method, when I change the costs for some/all items, and I wanted to update the cost of the items parents appropriately.
    But in the 'average' costing, if I change the cost for some child item, the cost of the parent will changed by the average by the time.
    When I use the rollup on 'Average' costing method ?
    Thanks.

    hi,
    u cannot perform rollup on average costing method.

    Hi,
    So you are trying to save the SPUser value in the "Nominated" column.If yes then this code snippet will be helpful.
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
    SPUser userObj = SPContext.Current.Web.EnsureUser("Murugesan");
    SPFieldUserValue userValue = new SPFieldUserValue(SPContext.Current.Web, userObj.LoginName);
    SPList list = web.Lists["Project"];
    SPListItem item = list.Items.Add();
    item["Title"] = "Project-2";
    item["Manager"] = userValue;
    item.Update();
    Run this code with elevated privilege.
