You use this program to indicate the cost buckets from which you want to issue lots and/or serials when you are using Actual costing (Inventory Setup) and more than one FIFO bucket is associated with a lot or serialized item.
If you selected to auto deplete cost buckets (Inventory Setup) then system applies buckets in FIFO sequence. However, you may still be required to indicate the bucket to use for certain transactions (e.g. a negative backflush).
When only one FIFO bucket is associated with a lot or serialized item, that bucket is automatically used and the Actual Cost Allocation program is not loaded.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Delete | Select this to delete the allocation line currently highlighted in the Actual Costing Allocation Details listview. |
| Save and Close | Select this to save the allocations in the listview and
to exit the program. The full quantity issued for the lot/serial is validated against the actual cost buckets allocated. If the correct quantity has been allocated, then the actual cost buckets are updated. The quantity on hand is adjusted according to the transaction and the last issue date is updated for issues. When processing a negative issue/dispatch note to a specific bucket, the receipt back into stock cannot exceed the original quantity received. |
| Close | Select this to exit the program without saving any
details. A warning message is displayed indicating that the allocation of lot/serial buckets is incomplete. If you select to ignore the message then any actual cost buckets already updated are reversed. |

You use this editable listview to indicate the actual cost buckets from which you want to issue lots and/serials.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Actual cost bucket | Indicate the cost bucket from which you want to issue
the item. You can select the Browse icon to display the FIFO
buckets available for the selected lot/serial (see
Inventory Browse on FIFO/LIFO Buckets). If you are processing a negative receipt, then the bucket you select here must be the bucket into which the original receipt was processed. Similarly, when reversing a positive allocation in Job Issues, only the actual cost bucket(s) used in the positive issue can be reversed. |
| Date received | This indicates the date on which the item was received into the cost bucket. |
| Quantity | Indicate the quantity you want to issue from the selected cost bucket. |
| Unit cost | This indicates the unit cost of the item in the selected cost bucket. This is the actual unit cost at which the items will be issued. |
