Transferring Standard Cost items between sites creates unexpected ledger transactions

(4) ShareShare

Posted on by 168
We have an odd issue.
 
We use Standard Cost as our inventory costing method.
 
We have a manufacturing site, where the finished good is set up with a formula and route, and where we use the Costing Version to calculated cost rollup, and activate the standard cost.
 
We also have a distribution site where we simply copy the cost calculated on the manufacturing site, and activate this "non calculated" standard cost.
so far simple and "boring"....
 
.
 
When we use a simple inventory transfer journal to move the finished good from the manufacturing site to the distribution site, instead of getting a simple "net zero" ledger transaction, we get a voucher with many lines, and with significant amounts posted into "rounding variance" and "cost change" variance accounts (even though the price is exactly the same between the two sites ?!?!)
 
I would have expected to get only the final 4 lines: Inventory Issue, Inventory inter-unit receivable, Inter-unit payable, Inventory Receipt.
How can I stop the other posting line from happening? 
 
I have the same question (0)

    HI Zvika,
     
    Like yourself, I also would expect only the last 4 lines. Are you able to check with a debugger why the other lines are created? Can you related the amounts to something related to the production order?

    I did not do debugging on this posting.
     
    As a functional person, I can speculate this is because 
    1. we are using STD cost as costing method.
    2. in the source site, the STD cost as a "calculated" value - meaning a formula/BOM exist, and we calculate a cost roll up in the Costing Version.
    3. in the destination site, the STD cost is set through "regular" data entry.
     
    It looks like the system somehow considers item cost that was calculated differently from item cost that was entered.
