Case Study & Technical Analysis: CAC PO Receipt History for Actual Costing
Executive Summary
The CAC PO Receipt History for Actual Costing report is essential for organizations using Average, FIFO, or LIFO costing. In these methods, the “Item Cost” is dynamic—it updates with every receipt. This report provides the audit trail explaining why the cost changed, by showing the receipt quantity and price that drove the update.
Business Challenge
- Cost Volatility: “Why did the cost of Widget A jump from $5 to $8 yesterday?”
- Audit Trail: In Standard Costing, costs only change once a year. In Actual Costing, they change daily. Tracing the specific receipt that caused a spike is difficult without a dedicated report.
- Inventory Valuation: Validating that the weighted average calculation was performed correctly.
Solution
This report reconstructs the cost update logic.
- Sequence: Lists receipts in chronological order.
- Calculation: Shows
Prior Onhand,Prior Cost,Receipt Qty,Receipt Price->New Onhand,New Cost. - Scope: Includes PO Receipts and Inter-Org Transfers (which also update average cost).
Technical Architecture
- Tables:
mtl_material_transactions(MMT),rcv_transactions. - Logic: Links the inventory transaction (MMT) to the receiving transaction (RCV) to get the PO price details.
- Complexity: Actual Costing history is stored in
mtl_cst_actual_cost_detailsandmtl_material_txn_allocations, which are complex to join.
Parameters
- Transaction Date From/To: (Mandatory) Period to analyze.
- Item Number: (Optional) Specific item to trace.
Performance
- High Volume: MMT is often the largest table in the database. Filtering by Date and Item is crucial for performance.
FAQ
Q: Can I use this for Standard Costing? A: You can, but the “Prior Cost” and “New Cost” columns might not be relevant as Standard Cost doesn’t change on receipt. Use the “Item Costing” version instead.
Q: Does it include freight? A: If “Landed Cost Management” (LCM) is used, the receipt price will include estimated landed costs.
