Inventory Analysis Parameters (whina0100m000)

This session contains:

  • A history list of parameter sets and their effective dates. The most recent parameter sets are at the end of the list.
  • The current parameter set, at the top of the list (without an effective date). To view historical sets, double-click one of the historical parameter sets. You can use the Print Inventory Analysis Parameters (whina0400m000) session to print and compare the parameter sets.

To view or change the current parameters, double-click the set without an effective date that appears at the top of the list. The Inventory Analysis Parameters (whina0100m000) details session starts.

If you make changes and save the new parameter setting, LN performs the following actions:

  • Adds the new set at the end of the history list.
  • Updates the current set (at the top of the list).
Note

By default, the Description field contains the date and time when the previous parameter setting was saved. To avoid confusion, if you change the parameters, change or delete the default Description text.

 

General
Effective Date

The date and time that the parameters are valid. The parameters are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting.

Description

The description of the parameter set.

Boundary Class A/B/C

The percentage of the total turnover which the class of A items yields as a whole. The sum of the A, B, and C boundaries must total 100%. A items are the items with the highest turnover.

Boundary Class A/B/C

The upper boundary of class B indicates the percentage of the total turnover which the class of B items yields as a whole. B items have the highest turnover after A items. The sum of the A, B, and C boundaries must total 100%.

Boundary Class A/B/C

The percentage of the total turnover which the class of C items yields as a whole. C items have the lowest turnover. The sum of the A, B, and C boundaries must total 100%.

Slow-Moving Analysis
To Turnover Rate (Upper Boundary)

The upper percentage boundary of a specific turnover rate. The value must be higher than the lower boundary of the same interval.

Slow-Moving Percentage

One of ten possible slow-moving percentages, to be entered in order of decreasing value. These percentages are used in the Perform Slow-Moving Analysis (whina6220m000) session.

Variances
Process Inventory Variances Automatically

If this check box is selected, LN processes inventory variances automatically.

Variance Posting Date
Variance Posting Date

Indicates the date on which the inventory variance is posted in Financials. The default value is Variance Processing Date. For more information, refer to Inventory variance posting.

Inventory Valuation
Valuation
Number Group for Inventory Valuation

A group of first free number series that you can assign to a specific use.

For example, you can assign a number group to:

  • Business partner codes
  • Purchase contracts
  • Sales orders
  • Production orders
  • Service orders
  • Warehousing orders
  • Freight orders

Within a number group you can define multiple series. Each series is identified by the series code. The series numbers that LN generates consist of the series code followed by the first free number in the series. Series codes of the same number group have the same length.

Series for Revaluation

A group of order numbers or document numbers starting with the same series code.

Series identify orders with certain characteristics. For example, all sales orders handled by the large accounts department start with LA (LA0000001, LA0000002, LA0000003, and so on).

This series is used in the Calculate Standard Cost (ticpr2210m000) and Actualize Standard Cost and Revalue Inventory (ticpr2220m000) sessions to obtain order numbers for revaluations.

Series for Actual Costs Correction

A group of order numbers or document numbers starting with the same series code.

Series identify orders with certain characteristics. For example, all sales orders handled by the large accounts department start with LA (LA0000001, LA0000002, LA0000003, and so on).

This series is used to generate order numbers for revaluation orders created when processing actual costs corrections for items. For every warehouse a new sequence number for this order is created.

Series for MAUC Correction

A group of order numbers or document numbers starting with the same series code.

Series identify orders with certain characteristics. For example, all sales orders handled by the large accounts department start with LA (LA0000001, LA0000002, LA0000003, and so on).

This series is used to generate order numbers for revaluation orders created when processing MAUC corrections for items. For every warehouse a new sequence number for this order is created.

Series for Change Valuation Method

A group of order numbers or document numbers starting with the same series code.

Series identify orders with certain characteristics. For example, all sales orders handled by the large accounts department start with LA (LA0000001, LA0000002, LA0000003, and so on).

This series is used in the Change Valuation Method (whina1232m000) session.

Reason

The default reason code for revaluation or MAUC correction. The reason code for MAUC revaluation is defaulted in the MAUC Correction by Item (whina1231m000) and Actual Costs Correction (whina1230m000) sessions.
