How to use a Misc Charges item with a Periodic item (Standard Cost) with Microsoft Dynamics GP Manufacturing

To setup a Misc Charges item with Microsoft Dynamics GP Manufacturing, follow these steps:

1. You first have to use SQL Query Analyzer to update the correct Valuation Method on the Misc Charges item: You cannot add a Misc Charges item to a Periodic (Standard Cost) Bill of Materials.Make sure you have a good functional backup before using SQL to update any table.Valuation Method Values are the following:



a. Depending on the version of Microsoft SQL Server that you use, start SQL Server Management Studio, or start SQL Query Analyzer. To do this, use one of the following steps:

•If you are using SQL Server 2005, open SQL Server Management Studio. To do this, click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.

•If you are using SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 7.0, open SQL Query Analyzer. To do this, click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and then click Query Analyzer.

b. Use one of the following steps:

•In SQL Server Management Studio, expand Databases in Object Explorer, and then click Dynamics. Click New Query, type the following select statements in the query pane, and then click Execute. You will have to provide the Misc Charges item in the first script to get the correct DEX_ROW_D for the second update script.

 SELECT * FROM IV00101 where ITEMNMBR='MISC CHARGES ITEM'

UPDATE IV00101 SET VCTNMTHD ='4' where DEX_ROW_ID ='<XXX>"

•In SQL Query Analyzer, type the following select statement in the Query pane, and then click Execute.

SELECT * FROM IV00101 where ITEMNMBR='MISC CHARGES ITEM'

UPDATE IV00101 SET VCTNMTHD ='4' where DEX_ROW_ID ='<XXX>"

When you update the item to set the VCTNMTHD ='4' it also will add a record to the ICIV0323 and CT00003 tables.

These are required for standard cost items in order to Rollup and revalue them correct. If the items are imported it is necessary to check the Standard Cost tables.
