Amending a User Defined Cost

This form is used to amend user defined cost values for item codes and cannot be used to create new ones.

The user defined cost values are set up in the Item Costs Setup form.

The User Defined Cost Amendment (IUA) form contains the following fields that make up the key to a user defined cost value. Enter all, some or none of the relevant codes and click OK:

  • Item Code
  • Cost Type Code
  • Cost Analysis Id
  • Currency Code
  • Transaction Currency
  • User Defined Cost Def'n Code
  • Period

The grid section of the form is populated with details of the user defined cost values that have been set up against the information entered in the above fields. For example, if all of the key fields are entered, only one user defined cost value entry is shown; if just the item code is entered, all the user defined cost values that have been set up for the item are shown; if a currency codes and period are entered, all the user defined cost values that have been set up for that currency code and period combination are shown; if nothing is entered, all existing user defined cost values are shown.

You can amend the following fields in the grid:

  • Date
  • Item User Defined Value

Click OK to accept your amendments. These new values are then made available to the costing system.

User defined cost values assigned to period numbers are for use with inventory revaluation.
