Cost Layer by Item

3480 is the option to inquire into the Cost Layer of an item both open and closed layers.

Receiver number:

There are basically three (3) different configurations for this number.

1. A number without leading 8’s or 9’s. This will always denote the original receiver number assigned at the time a Purchase order is received.

2. A number with the leading 8’s will indicate a return of product from a customer via the return processing program. The format of this

number will be four (4)- 8’s followed by the right- most 7 digits of the return invoice number. So, the example above 88889297609,

is broken out in this manner. 8888 indicates a return invoice, and that number following, 9297609, will be the invoice number truncated by the left-most digit.

In this case 19297609 would be the complete invoice number for this cost layer.

3. A number with the leading 9’s will indicate two possible scenarios. A Transfer received from another location or an Inventory adjustment.

Unlike the explanation for the layer beginning with 8’s, the number itself has no further definition. The series of numbers after the 9’s is just a sequence number assigned at receiving time.

Aging Date vs Original Date:

1. The Aging date is used to age the Locations inventory. The Original date is the date that the item was received into our inventory.

2 A division-to-division transfer would show different dates in the two date fields. (This is to not penalize the receiving division for old inventory received from the shipping division.)

3 The division-to-branch date fields will be kept the same as the originating shipping location.

4 The Aging Date and the Original Date will be the same on the Original Purchase Order Receivers. This will be the date the product was received.

5 The Aging Date and the Original Date will be same on returns and will reflect the date the return was processed into the system.

Order and Line:

1. The Order number for a Purchase Order receiver, will be the Purchase Order number that is actually received.

2. The Order number for a transfer will be the truncated transfer number. (The left-most digit being truncated)

3. The Order number for a return will be the Original Po number/Transfer number/Adjustment code from the layer(s) the Original Order was shipped out from.

4. The Order number with the words “ADJUST”,”FixAdj” indicate they originated from an inventory adjustment or cost layer adjustment.
