Hello,

I am slightly confused on this financially.

Situation:

Project A
Cust. Item A (various material and labour to WIP totalling 100 bucks)

Project B
Needs item that is Cust item A

Solution: Do a PRP Warehouse Project to Project Trans

From my understanding: Inventory and Costs are transferred to the other project.

What is happening:

When I transferred it, I would assume that the PRP Warehouse transaction that would Debit WIP and credit a clearing account. However, it creates a PRP Warehouse Revenue transaction for 0 dollars. The target project has a PRP Warehouse Material Cost transaction for 0 dollars.

I rolled costs on Project A.

It debits COGS for 100 bucks and credits WIP. Which seems ok because it is going out of WIP to the other project.

Currently, there is 100 bucks sitting in WIP.

But when I close the project, it moves the WIP back to COGS.

Nothing happens to the target project. It has a SO with a separate item that has been shipped and invoiced (the transferred item was in the BOM).

Problem 1: Why is the PRP revenue transaction at 0 dollars?

Problem 2: Am I wrong in assuming that with a PRP warehouse transaction, the costs would move too?

We have patches up to Feb.

What is the costprice of the items transferred via PRP warehouse order?

Make sure that the "Transfer between TI projects based on Cost prices" is set to yes in PCS parameters (tipcs0100m000)

If it is set to no it will use the warehouse price (which you will find on your PRP transfer session) for the transfer

I didn't know about that parameter and how it works with the cost prices. I am assuming that this is the "Actual costs" on the customized item?

i am going to check it out.

OK, I have verified that the parameter is yes. I have recalc'd the projects and the source project has a cost price of 100 bucks and the target project has a cost price of 0 dollars still.

Was it yes all along or did you change it to yes?

If it was no at the moment of transfer, there is nothing you can do about this transaction but going forward you should be OK.

Give it a shot in your test environment, you should see that it works

Revenue 100$ in transfer from project
Material cost 100$ in transfer to project

I have tried it in my standard test env, but I keep getting an error "invoice data for Invoice X cannot be written to finance". The environment's data is messed, so I have to sift through that first.

Thanks for the tip. I'll probably be coming back to this soon.

I got it to work, but only after first closed the production order on the source project and calculated cost price by project with Project Revenue expected set to 0.

It will transfer at 0 if a) the revenue expected flag is set to yes and sales order is not delivered, which is the case with many items.

Is this a bug?
