Why is the Schedule Nominal Not Matching the Cost Analysis?

When the schedule nominal for .3.60.80 does not align with the figures in the Cost Analysis, but the reconciliation balances correctly for the nominal, the issue is often due to unassigned costs against the stock record. This guide explains how to identify and resolve unassigned costs to ensure accurate reporting.

Steps to Resolve the Issue

1. Check for Unassigned Costs

1. Access the relevant Stock Record.
2. Navigate to the PDI/Prep tab.
3. Look for the "Costs to Assign? "field:
   • If unassigned costs exist, a button labelled "Assign" will appear next to this field.

2. Assign the Costs

1. Click the "Assign" button.
2. A window will display a list of unassigned costs related to the stock record.
3. Review the costs and assign them appropriately against the deal.

3. Verify the Cost Analysis

• Once the costs are assigned, they will appear in the Cost Analysis section of the stock record.
• This will ensure the schedule nominal figure matches the cost analysis data.

Key Notes

• Unassigned Costs: These are costs recorded in the system but not yet linked to a specific stock record or deal. Assigning these costs ensures accurate reporting in the cost analysis.
• Reconciliation: Even if the reconcile balances correctly for the nominal, unassigned costs can cause discrepancies in the Cost Analysis section.
• Review Regularly: Regularly check and assign costs to avoid inconsistencies.

Scenarios Where This Process is Useful

• Identifying and correcting discrepancies between schedule nominal and cost analysis figures.
• Ensuring all costs associated with a stock record are properly assigned.
• Maintaining accurate financial and inventory records.
