Currently, in the design of production orders, when different financial dimensions are set for both the BOM item and the finished good, the system automatically overrides the financial dimension of the BOM item to match the primary item (finished good). If the user wants to use separate financial dimensions for these, they must manually adjust the dimensions before the estimation stage.
If the user forgets to make these changes, it can lead to discrepancies at the financial level and within the production order setup. This results in a mismatch between the financial dimension set up for the items and the actual postings for the BOM item, potentially causing misleading financial information.
To address this, it is suggested to introduce functionality that allows users to decide whether the primary financial dimension should override the secondary financial dimension. This feature would enable users to maintain separate financial dimensions for primary and secondary items when needed, offering greater flexibility and control over their financial setups.
Comments
This is a long-standing issue when using financial dimension like Item group to further breakdown inventory ledger account balances. Besides Production pick list journals, Route card and Job card journals are affected if you have specific financial dimensions for a Resource. Adding a parameter to Production control to allow financial dimensions from the Production Order end item or from the component item would resolve this issue.
