incorrect layers on inventory valuation reports

unknown

Hi:

We're hounded by incorrect layers on our inventory valuation reports. We've learned enough to know that a lot has to do with "in" and "out" transactions, costing utilities, FIFO, on hand quantities, etc. but it seems we often get the same "fixes" sent to us from support, with only about a 20% success rate.

We've spent countless hours on this and come to the conclusion it just can't be fixed. For example, we repair an incorrect layer on one part, only to have a new one pop up on the next inventory valuation report run.

So, my question is this: have other Visual users experienced the same frustration with this issue, and if so, what, in general, have you done about it.

Thanks !

Yes, I have in the past been haunted by bad layers. I became quite the expert at fixing them. At some point, I finally got the business practices locked down and then did a complete 'flattening" of the layers. I developed a couple of crystal reports at that point that pointed out irregularities, such as work orders costed over the eng master, or sales orders where the cost of goods was more than the sale. These lead to visual messages and workflow messages, all of which pointed out the errors before they were posted and much harder to clean up.
