Supplier Consignment Inventory

To recognize inventory, there is a corresponding supplier invoice match for inventory usage in the current period in which the usage occurs.

Logistics Accounting—Inbound

You can set up cost elements that are related to material or overhead to track various inbound logistics charges and to associate them with a logistics charge code for accrual at goods receipt and matching logistic supplier invoices. Periodic Costing can use these cost elements to include in the periodic calculation.

Co-/By-Products

The system calculates co-products at work order close by taking the actual cost of components used in the base process.

Configured Products

The system considers cost of goods sold (COGS) by item. That is, if the same item has many different configurations per sales order, there is only one unit cost for the item that is the average of all BOMs the system uses on sales orders for the current period.

QAD Warehousing

QAD Warehousing can generate a high volume of transactions when moving inventory from location to location within the warehouse. This high volume, however, does not affect the calculation of item cost, but it can affect the performance of batch processing of costing recalculations.

QAD Service/Support Management (SSM)

SSM transactions generated are normal inventory transactions. They are treated accordingly by Periodic Costing calculations. The system recognizes COGS, and SSM tax is captured.

JIT/S

A backflush that is posted using Receipts-Backward Exploded (3.12) can affect labor and burden absorption, as run time may not be not reported. To avoid this, the appropriate setup for JIT/S is to use the Advanced Repetitive (18.22) module for backflush instead of Receipts-Backward Exploded

TRM

TRM can calculate rates but all costs are in EE.
