Cost Object Information Updates During Sales Update

The Update Customer Sales program groups transactions into different types of batches for posting to journals. To properly record cost object information, all customer sales, inventory and COGS journal entries should be posted in detail.

When you run the Update Customer Sales program, the system groups transactions into the following batches:

Batch	Description
Customer sales (batch type IB)	Posts the sales, cost of goods sold, and inventory entries to the customer sales journal. The system creates batch type IB when the summarization processing options in the Sales Update program (R42800) is set to write GL entries in summary or detail.
Inventory/COGS (batch type G)	Posts to the inventory/COGS journal. The system creates batch type G for inventory and COGS entries when the summarization processing option in the Sales Update program (R42800) is set to summarize COGS and inventory entries to separate batches.

Batch

Description

Customer sales (batch type IB)

Posts the sales, cost of goods sold, and inventory entries to the customer sales journal.

The system creates batch type IB when the summarization processing options in the Sales Update program (R42800) is set to write GL entries in summary or detail.

Inventory/COGS (batch type G)

Posts to the inventory/COGS journal.

The system creates batch type G for inventory and COGS entries when the summarization processing option in the Sales Update program (R42800) is set to summarize COGS and inventory entries to separate batches.

If you set the processing options in the Sales Update program (R42800) to purge sales header and detail information to history, base your driver calculation detail rule on the Sales Order History File table (F42119).

If you have activated the processing option to use flex accounting, the system searches the flex accounting rules to determine how to populate cost objects.
