About Item User Defined Costs

This method is available from SunSystems v5.2.1, onwards, or as a customer download patch for SunSystems v5.1.5 Service Pack 1, from the Infor Customer Portal https://inforsaas.service-now.com/. It is also included in SunSystems Connect v5.1.5 Service Pack 1 Cumulative Patch.

This method replicates (as far as possible) the User Defined Inventory Cost (IUC) function, available from the Action menu within Item Costs Setup; Item UD Costs. In addition to the predefined costing methods in SunSystems of Standard Cost, Latest Actual Cost, Weighted Average Cost and Defined Average Cost, further costing bases can be user defined. These are processed by the system in the same way as Standard Cost and can be attached to individual item records in the Item Master.

Up to six user defined costs can be tracked on each receipt and issue. Further user defined costs can be held at item level, showing only the latest value of each cost. All can be used in reports.

This component has been designed to support business requirements that need the creation or amendment of Item User Defined Costs in high volumes.

You can only run this method from the SSC web page or programmatically. It is not available from within Transfer Desk.
