Example of Accounting of Lot Translate Transactions
This example illustrates the accounting entries for a lot merge transaction.
Scenario
A lot, Lot10, of Item-A with 10 units each and priced at $20 per item is translated into a another lot, Lot20, and in a different subinventory. The valuation unit set up in the cost profile is at the subinventory level.
| Item | Subinventory | Transaction Type | Quantity | Amount | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Item-A | Subinventory1 | Inventory Lot Translate | - 10 | ($200) | 
| Item-A | Subinventory2 | Inventory Lot Translate | 10 | $200 | 
Analysis
Cost accounting creates these distributions for the transaction corresponding to the source lots, Lot10.
| Accounting Event | Valuation Unit | Accounting Line Type | Cost Element | Amount in USD (+Dr/-Cr) | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lot Translate | Subinventory1 | Offset | Material | + 200.00 | 
| Lot Translate | Subinventory1 | Inventory Valuation | Material | - 200.00 | 
For the resultant transaction of the lot translate, these distributions are created.
| Accounting Event | Valuation Unit | Accounting Line Type | Cost Element | Amount in USD (+Dr/-Cr) | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lot Translate | Subinventory2 | Inventory Valuation | Material | + 200.00 | 
| Lot Translate | Subinventory2 | Offset | Material | - 200.00 |
