Cost Analyzer Inquiry (P1602)

Use Cost Analyzer Inquiry to review cost analyzer entries. You can review the details of a specific entry, including the original posting balances, ending balances and the year-to-date total for the selected entry.

When you run the Cost Calculations (R1610) program, the system creates assignment entries. The system reallocates ending balance amounts from accounts, cost objects, or activities to others. For example, if the total of the general ledger details for salary transactions is 100,000.00 USD for the sixth accounting period, the original posting balance and the ending balance is 100,000.00 USD.

When you reassign the salary amounts for the sixth accounting period to activities such as receiving and inspecting materials, the system creates two new records for salaries that are attached to the activity codes of receiving and inspecting through the Assignment Calculation program. The total of receiving and inspecting ending balances equals 100,000.00 USD, which is the original posting amount balance for salary transactions for the sixth accounting period. The ending balance for salary will be set to zero and the original posting balance will remain unchanged.

You can set a processing option to indicate whether the system creates an audit trail in the Cost Calculations Transactions (F1611) table. The audit trail allows you to view the balance prior to any assignments (net posting), and then review balances that are assigned In and Out at the transaction level (net balances). On the Cost Analyzer Balances form, you can review the following:

• Original Posting YTD - Information retrieved from the Account Ledger (F0911).

• The Ending Balance YTD (Original Balance + Assigned Ins – Assigned Outs).
