We use this, in conjunction with Task Centre, to alert us when a vendor has charged us more than what our purchase order was submitted for.  Very valuable when you have a payables clerk processing 100’s of invoices a day (it is easy for them to make a mistake).

This script has options for total amount of discrepancy.  This allows you to “tweak” the script to not show line items that are off a couple of pennies (or whatever tolerance you wish). 

We actually use $5, so that is set as default in the script.  To change, replace the value in line 2 (SET @dollar_amount=5), to whatever dollar value you want.  DO NOT INCLUDE THE DECIMALS.

This question was raised in the Dynamics GP Community by JCohen:

We are looking for a way to associate outgoing freight charges from 3rd party carriers (not invoiced to customers) with applicable sales invoices in order to better track the profitability of customers. It seems, to me, that it is the flip-side of landed costs but I have not found a way to link them. Any suggestions?

***One thing to note, since this script combines Sales Document Headers and Purchase Line Items (Headers vs Details) the freight analysis for each Sales Order will be repeated for the number of lines on the Purchase Order.  This can easily be cleaned up in a report.  Feel free to Contact Me if you need any help.***

Whether you are looking to utilize the built in reporting tools such as Smart Lists and Report Writer, or if you are looking to dive a little deeper into SQL, Excel, or Smart List Builder, this book is for you.  This book also has a nice breakdown of how the Dynamics GP databases are structured.  Between what this book teaches and Victoria Yudin’s list of GP Tables, you should have all the tools you need to get started writing your own reports.

This view is also a modification of the spvSalesDocumentHolds view from Salespad (www.salespad.net).

You can name the view whatever you want by change the [tspvSalesDocumentHolds] below.  Also the USE [TSP] tells the script to only execute on my database named TSP.  You will need to modify the [TSP] to be whatever your database name is.

For example:

We purchased 5 x widgets for $100.00. We have sold 3 x widgets for $125 based on a Standard Cost of $100. That is a 25% margin we just made on each widget. Now the price decrease comes in and our new Standard Cost is $90.00. We sell the next 2 widgets, based on a standard cost of $90 and 25% margin, for $120. Now if our actual costs were $90, then that would be a 25% margin as well, but remember we still have 2 x widgets in stock that we paid $100 for. Now our margin is only 20% ($100 cost and $120 sell = 20% margin).

The solution:
I have written a script that will compare our Standard Cost to our inventory valuation table to see if we have purchased something for more than we have our Standard Cost setup.

***This script assumes you are using Standard Cost as your calculation for setting margin/markup on your item. If you are not, then let me know and I will show you how to change to Current Cost.***

This script uses the following views:

Item Master (tspvItemMaster)

Inventory Receipts (tspvInventoryReceipts)

***SQL Script***

SELECT  Item_Class_Code,
        a.Item_Number,
        [OnHand] = Qty_Received – Qty_Sold,
        b.Unit_Cost,
        a.Standard_Cost,
        [CostDiff] = a.Standard_Cost – b.Unit_Cost
FROM    dbo.tspvItemMaster a
        LEFT JOIN dbo.tspvInventoryReceipts b ON a.Item_Number = b.Item_Number
WHERE   Qty_Received – Qty_Sold > 0                       
        AND ( a.Standard_Cost – b.Unit_Cost < -0.02 )   
        AND Standard_Cost <> ’0.00′                       
ORDER BY (a.Standard_Cost-b.Unit_Cost)

***Updated 4/22/2011***

The above script will return the true FIFO/LIFO layer.  So if you have 2 x widgets at a cost of $100 and 3 x widgets at a cost of $95 then you will see 2 results.  The first row showing how 2 x widgets with a unit_cost of $100 and then a second row showing 3 x widgets with a unit_cost of $95. 

The script below will give you the MAX FIFO/LIFO value found and only return 1 row for each item_number.  So the results would just show the widget (no quantities) with a unit_cost of $100 (because $100 is more than $95).

***SQL Script MAX***

Select  Item_Class_Code,
        Item_Number,
        Item_Description,
        Standard_Cost,
        [Unit_Cost]=( Select    MAX(b.Unit_Cost) AS ‘unit_cost’
          from      dbo.tspvInventoryReceipts b
          Where     b.Item_Number = a.Item_Number
                    AND ( Qty_Received – Qty_Sold > 0 )
          group by  b.Item_Number
        ),
        [Cost_Diff]=a.Standard_Cost-( Select    MAX(b.Unit_Cost) AS ‘unit_cost’
              from      dbo.tspvInventoryReceipts b
              Where     b.Item_Number = a.Item_Number
                        AND ( Qty_Received – Qty_Sold > 0 )
              group by  b.Item_Number
            )
from    dbo.tspvItemMaster a
WHERE   a.Item_Number NOT LIKE ‘*%’
