Display Inventory Transaction History (DITH)

Purpose: Inventory transaction history provides a record of all the transactions performed in your company. Transactions you enter, transactions the system performs in the background, and transactions processed through the Generic Inventory Transaction Upload are available through this menu option. You can restrict the display by scanning on different fields, including location, date, item number, SKU, and transaction codes.

How long is history available? Inventory transaction history remains on the system for at least the number of days specified in the Inventory Transaction History Retention Days (A24) system control value. When you run the Inventory Transaction History Purge function (Fast path = MITH), the system deletes any inventory transaction history older than this number of days.

Inventory Transaction History Screen (1 of 2)

Purpose: Use this screen to review inventory transactions or to select a particular transaction for detail review.

How to display this screen: Enter DITH in the Fast path field at the top of any menu or select Display Inventory Transaction History from a menu.

When you first advance to this screen, item transaction history records display in ascending item, SKU, warehouse code, transaction date, transaction time, item transaction history sequence number sequence. This is the sequence of records when you select View By FIFO.

Select View By LIFO to display item transaction history records in ascending item, SKU, warehouse code, descending transaction date, ascending transaction time, and item transaction history sequence number sequence.

Maximum number of records to display: The system displays the first 500 records in the Item Transaction History table for your company that meet your search criteria. The following message displays if there are more than 500 records to display:

The maximum number of records was exceeded. Please refine search criteria. Showing records 1-500.

You can use the fields on this screen to refine the item transaction history records you wish to review. In order to refine the records that display you must select OK after you enter your search criteria.

Column sort: You can sort on any of the columns on this screen by clicking the column name. An arrow pointing up displays next to the field when the values for the field display in ascending sequence; an arrow pointing down displays next to the field when the values for the field display in descending sequence.

Note: The system creates inventory transaction history records for drop ship and non-inventory items only if the Create Item Transaction History for Non-Inventory Items (E39) system control value is selected.

AUTOTRANS = identifies a transaction processed using the Working with Automated Inventory Transactions (WAIT) menu option.

ID numbers: The system also uses the ID# field to provide additional information for the following types of inventory transactions:

Extended Cost)

The Costing Method (A25) system control value controls how the system determines the cost of an item.

Average Cost: If you use average costing, this is the unit cost of the item. The system uses the Average cost from the SKU table for both SKU’d and non-SKU’d items.

Standard Cost: If you use standard costing, this is the unit cost of the item. The system uses the Standard cost from the SKU table for both SKU’d and non-SKU’d items.

FIFO Cost: If you use FIFO costing, this is the extended cost of all units. In FIFO costing, a single transaction may derive unit costs from more than one FIFO cost layer, making it impossible to display a single unit cost on this screen.

Note: The Display Cost in Inventory (A38) secured feature controls the display of this field.

Numeric, 10 positions with a four-place decimal.

Item Transaction Cost Detail Screen

Purpose: Use this screen to review the costs provided by each FIFO layer toward the extended cost of an inventory transaction.

Field

Description

Warehouse

The warehouse where the transaction took place.

Numeric, 3 positions; display-only

Item/SKU

The item and SKU affected by the transaction.

Item: alphanumeric, 12 positions; display-only.

SKU: alphanumeric, three 4-position fields; display-only.

Item description (Unlabeled field below the item/SKU)

The description of the item.

Alphanumeric, 40 positions; display-only.

Date/time/seq # (Date/time/sequence number)

The date and time when the transaction took place, followed by a number to identify how many transactions for the same warehouse and item/SKU took place at this same date and time.

Date: numeric, 6 positions (MM/DD/YY format); display-only.

Time: numeric, 6 positions (HH:MM:SS format); display-only.

Sequence number: numeric, 7 positions; display-only

FIFO Seq # (FIFO sequence number)

A unique number to identify which FIFO cost layer for the warehouse, creation date, item, and SKU provided the cost for this inventory transaction.

Numeric, 7 positions; display-only.

FIFO date

The date when the FIFO cost layer was created. Typically, FIFO layers are created through a purchase order receipt, but the system also creates them due to customer returns, adjustments, physical inventory counts, vendor charge back reversals, or when you convert to FIFO costing from another costing method.

Numeric, 5 positions (MM/DD/YY format); display-only

Qty (Quantity)

The number of units using the FIFO cost indicated. The system selects a FIFO layer for costing an inventory transaction based on a standard hierarchy; see FIFO Costing Overview.

Sometimes the on-hand quantity of the first selected FIFO layer is lower than the total quantity of the transaction. In this situation, the system exhausts the quantity of the first FIFO layer and selects the next FIFO layer in the standard hierarchy to cost the remaining quantity of the transaction.

 

Example: An issue transaction involves 10 units. There were two FIFO layers for the item in warehouse 2. The first FIFO layer, created on 11/10 through a purchase order receipt, had an on-hand quantity of 5 units remaining. The second FIFO layer, created on 12/23 through a customer return, had an on-hand quantity of 10 units. The system selected the older FIFO layer and exhausted those 5 units. Then the system selected the next available FIFO layer to provide the cost of the remaining 5 units of the issue transaction.

Numeric, 7 positions; display-only.

FIFO cost

The unit cost from the FIFO layer selected for the transaction.

Note: The Display Cost in Inventory (A38) secured feature controls the display of the FIFO cost field.

Numeric, 11 positions with a 4-place decimal; display-only.

Extended cost

The total cost of the transaction from this FIFO layer. The extended cost is calculated by multiplying the FIFO cost by the quantity for the FIFO layer.

Note: The Display Cost in Inventory (A38) secured feature controls the display of the Extended cost field.

Numeric, 13 positions with a 4-place decimal; display-only.
