Symptoms
On : 12.1.1 version, Costing Transaction Errors Find Wrong value in accounting of WIP completion return transaction and the unit cost has been wrongly calculated. Issue verified as below: ITEM_ID ORG_ID WIP_ENTITY_ID 23040 277 18069 ----------------------------------------- Transaction ID: 1467130 - WIP Assembly Return transaction (Creation Date: 02/24/2010 15:15:31) TRX_QTY VARIANCE_AMOUNT ACTUAL_COST PRIOR_COST NEW_COST -1,000 -104,228,197 104,333 35 0 Transaction Date:02/24/2010 15:13:21 Find a discrepancy in the creation of the transactions. Note that the WIP assembly return has a transaction id smaller than the WIP completion though the creation times differ in this aspect.
Cause
In this case, the txn id of completion is larger than return
txn. So, in processing return txn, the prior completion qty was zero.
That made the return value so big and hit variance account for the
discrepancy btw returned value and reduced inventory value. This is explained in the following bug: Bug 9502821> - WRONG VALUE IN ACCOUNTING OF WIP COMPLETION RETURN TRANSACTION
