Outlet Variance Report Error

Daisy Deng

Hello,

 

I have several questions:

 

  1. How those products go to this unassigned location and why there are recipes over there, (as I was told that they only request and transfer bottles, no recipes)?
  2. After I close the inventory period, why the physical count I put for the each location(set up as Inventoried) transferred to another unused location as the beginning balance of next month? And then the balance of the unused location keep rolling up, and now the inventory for this unused location became 1K for each item. But this only happens to the outlet variance report. For the other report, like Stock Status, Inventory valuation, are correct.
  3. The same situation in N0. 2 happens for other Outlets with Location Guide Sequence. Why the physical count I put for the each location transferred to one of these location as the beginning balance of next month in total?
  4. During the inventory period, there are numbers already there when I input physical count numbers. How can I avoid that?

 

Please assist.

Hi {@005D000000AMjYDIA1}​ 

 

Thank you for your query.

 

For question 1, please see this discussion for how products appear in unassigned locations: https://fc.force.com/customer/s/question/0D53z00006AXWMgCAP/unassigned-products-in-purchasing-inventory-adaco

 

Recipes will behave similarly to products as stated in the above article. This will happen when a recipe is involved in a transaction i.e sales, outlet requisitions and transfers. As the system doesn't know which location you want the recipe to appear in, it will hold the stock in this unassigned location.

 

You will need to add the recipe to a specific location guide found in the maintain guides list and the recipe will no longer appear in the unassigned location.

 

For question 4, inventory counts are pre-populated depending on the outlet setup. If the outlet/location is included in the inventory cycle it won't have pre-populated values.

The below article provides more detail about outlet setup: https://fc.force.com/customer/s/article/Purchasing-Inventory-Property-Setup

 

In regards to points 2 and 3, we have raised a technical case for these as this is not expected behavior.

 

Hope this information helps.
