Processing
These processing options control processing criteria.
- 1. Update Costs
Specify whether the system updates costs. If you leave this processing option blank, the system creates exception reports and error messages, but does not update costs. Values are:
Blank: Do not update costs.
1: Update costs.
- 2. Single Level
Specify whether the system performs a complete cost rollup in a bill of material or updates only the cost for a selected item or items without updating the other costs. For example, you might have a new item to cost, although you do not want to recost the other items. After you create simulated costs for the new item, you can update its frozen costs without updating the costs of lower-level components. Values are:
Blank: Perform a complete cost rollup.
1: Perform a single-level cost rollup.
- 3. Update Work Center Rates
Specify whether the system updates work center rates when you run the batch program in final mode. Values are:
Blank: Do not update rates.
1: Update all rates in all work centers across all companies and all branch plants.
2: Update all work centers that are associated with items being frozen.
- 4. Use Flex Accounting
Specify whether to enable flexible accounting. The system looks for the flex accounting rules to determine how to populate cost object, business unit, subsidiary, or subledger fields. Values are:
Blank: Do not use flexible accounting.
1: Use flexible accounting.
- 5. WIP Revaluation (work in process revaluation)
Specify whether the system automatically runs the WIP Revaluation program to update work-in-process costs. Values are:
Blank: Do not run the WIP Revaluation program.
1: Run the WIP Revaluation program.
- 6. Use Cache or Work File for Calculations
Specify which type of temporary storage mechanism the system uses for when you run this program. Values are:
Blank: Cache (memory).
1:Temporary work table (database)
Use cache for processing smaller data sets. Use temporary work tables to process large data sets to avoid exceeding memory constraints in the system.
