Example of Accounting of Lot Split Transactions
This example illustrates the accounting entries for a lot split transaction.
Scenario
The lot Lot1 of Item-A with 10 units each and priced at $100 per item is split into two lots, Lot2 and Lot3, within the same subinventory. The valuation unit set up in the cost profile is at the lot level.
| Item | Lot Number | Transaction Type | Quantity | Amount | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Item-A | Lot1 | Inventory Lot Split | - 10 | ($1000) | 
| Item-A | Lot2 | Inventory Lot Split | 8 | $800 | 
| Item-A | Lot3 | Inventory Lot Split | 2 | $200 | 
Analysis
Cost accounting creates these distributions for the transaction corresponding to the source lot, Lot1.
| Accounting Event | Valuation Unit | Accounting Line Type | Cost Element | Amount in USD (+Dr/-Cr) | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lot Split | Subinventory1-Lot1 | Offset | Material | + 1000.00 | 
| Lot Split | Subinventory1-Lot1 | Inventory Valuation | Material | - 1000.00 | 
For the resultant transactions of the lot split, these distributions are created.
| Accounting Event | Valuation Unit | Accounting Line Type | Cost Element | Amount in USD (+Dr/-Cr) | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lot Split | Subinventory1-Lot2 | Inventory Valuation | Material | + 800.00 | 
| Lot Split | Subinventory1-Lot2 | Offset | Material | - 800.00 | 
| Lot Split | Subinventory1-Lot3 | Inventory Valuation | Material | + 200.00 | 
| Lot Split | Subinventory1-Lot3 | Offset | Material | - 200.00 |
