94.0. "transfer price less than std unit cost" by ZGOV02::YNTAN () Wed Jun 07 1995 03:23

    
    Hi,
      Hopefully I did not miss anything. During TPAS testing, we realize
      that parts shipped to sales subsidiary have transfer price less than
      std unit cost. The reason was due to the "allow less than std cost
      flag" is set to "Y" in the pricing table. Can you please clarify
      whether it is alright for us to use such transfer price for billing
      purpose? Is it Corporate's intention to allow such pricing? My user
      is confuse over this?
      Please advise.
    Rgds,

94.1How to return "TPLESSTHANSC" ?LAHERO::CMCLAUGHLANMon Jul 03 1995 10:2754
Hi
   As an addition to the previous question;

We are in the middle of User Testing in Ayr and are attempting to force 
the error "TPLESSTHANSC".   Could you explain why the following 2 examples
fail to get this error message from the demo, please.

I tried changing the logicals TPAS$DISPLAY_I_ERRORS and TPAS$DISPLAY_W_ERRORS
to "Y" in case this made a difference but still got the same results.

I assume that the flag mentioned by Yan Noi has been set in our tables also but
does this mean that the warning message is not returned?

94.2PRICING_TABLE.SHIP_BELOW_STD_COST was = "Y"AWARD::MAGNILois, 237-5548Wed Jul 05 1995 17:0231
Christine,

The TPAS Pricing Tables were set with 'SHIP_BELOW_STD_COST_INDCR = Y' for
all records with the 'BUSINESS_TYPE_CD = SAL'. When the transfer price
is calculated, it is compared against standard cost AND if BOTH 
PRICING_TABLE.SHIP_BELOW_STD_COST_INDCR AND 
TRNSFR_AREA_TABLE.RCV_BELOW_STD_COST_INDCR = 'N' Then
the warning message is displayed on the screen. If either the Pricing Table
or the Transfer Area Table switchs are set to "Y" then the whole paragraph
on checking the standard cost is ignored. Which is what happened on your
two examples.


This month's tables have changed such that all the Pricing Table Records for
'SAL' have had the SHIP_BELOW_STD_COST_INDCR set to "N". So if you pull
the new tables for testing, run the same parts through, you will see a 
warning messages displayed (not sent back to the program) and the
TRNSFR_PRCG_CD will be set to 'R'.

		TRNSFR_PRCG_CD = "O" AND
		       TRANSFER_PRICE < STD_COST AND both INDCR = "N"
		       Then
			   TRNSFR_PRCG_CD = "R"
			   BASE_PRICE = STD_COST
			   TRNSFR_PRC = BASE_PRICE * (1+UPLIFT)

    And the Error Code sent  back will be 
	 %APPIX-S-NORMAL, normal successful completion

Hope this helps.
