Example of Accounting Interorganization Transfers or Intercompany Shipments as Cost Derived Using Periodic Cost

This example illustrates:

  • Material moment transactions that are captured in Oracle Inventory Management and interfaced to Oracle Receipt Accounting and Oracle Cost Accounting.

  • Accounting entries that Receipt Accounting and Cost Accounting generate for transfers or intercompany shipments for inventory organizations with periodic average costing (PAC) enabled.

Scenario

A transfer order is issued from a PAC-enabled inventory organization to another PAC-enabled destination inventory organization.

The quantity of goods transferred is 10 units. The prior period average cost is $10.00 per unit and the current period average cost is $14 in the source organization. Cost variance is booked for the difference between the prior period average cost or opening period average cost and the current period average cost in the source organization.

Accounting Entries

Here's how the transfer transactions are cost processed. The table lists the accounting distributions in the source and destination PAC-enabled inventory organizations.
