Zero or Negative Unit Cost
The following topics discuss methods the system uses to handle zero or negative unit cost:
PCCSTCOR Transaction Resolves Negative Cost
When the unit cost calculation results in negative cost in this level (TL) or lower level (LL) and TL plus LL is positive, the Periodic Costing PCCSTCOR transaction resolves the negative cost between TL and LL and logs the exception. This applies to both single and grouped sites. When an element’s unit cost TL plus LL is negative, the system creates the PCCSTCOR transaction to reset the unit cost to the prior period cost. When there are no periods with cost, the system logs an entry in the exception log.
