Activate Standard Cost for future date

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 156

I might be missing something simple here...

How do I set up STD cost with effective date for the future?

I want to set up item Standard Cost in the system.

The new standard cost will take effect on a future date (say - the first day of the month)

I create the Item Price record, and populate the "From Date" field ?

We want to calculate and prepare the new standard costs in advance and then get them to get activated on the date of the new period. obviously we do not want to have to come to the system and press the activation button in exactly midnight.... How do I perform this business process?

But when I activate the price, it seems to be taking effect immediately, on the date of activation:

    It does not look that the people in these 2 links managed to set up a data for the future.

    Update, of what I managed to find out so far:

    1.the only way to activate a price for a future date is to change the session date - this might cause other issues.

    2. It seems that the most reasonable solution is, after the new pending standard cost values are entered, to scheduled the activate operation as a batch job, scheduled to run in the exact time/date we want the pricing to take effect.
