Understanding Cost Analyzer Information Updates

The Cost Analyzer Post uses transactions from the Account Ledger table (F0911) to update the F1602 table for the requested view and fiscal year. Based on information in the cost analyzer view structure, this program creates transactions in the Cost Analyzer Balances table, using information in the F0911 table. To allow error detection and correction of journal entry transactions before you post them to the Cost Analyzer Balances table, post the transactions to the Account Balances table (F0902) first.

Processing options enable you to select the view and fiscal year to post. You can either select only the previously posted general ledger transactions, or you can also include unposted transactions. You can also select the specific transactions to post.

Before you post transactions to the F1602 table, you must update the F0911 table either by entering manual transactions or creating automatic journal entries.

When you post transactions to the F1602 table, the system generates a report that indicates the number of account ledger records that were selected, the number of cost analyzer balance records that were created, and the number of cost analyzer records that were updated.

Important: Unposted transactions are subject to change. Use caution when including them when you post transactions from the F0911 table to the F1602 table.
