Validating an Inventoried Product Setup

Prior to validating the setup you will have to assign a warehouse and bin.

You can validate the setup of the product prior to the inventoried products appearing in a product search in the Order Entry screen.

To be included in orders, the following must to be defined for an inventory product:

·            The product record itself

·            At least one rate code and pricing record for the List price with an appropriate date range

·            The warehouse and bin must be defined and have a priority greater than one

This task verifies that all the dates are synchronized and all required fields are filled. Click the Validate Setup task from the Product Definition task category. If a green check mark displays next to this task in the left pane, then the setup was validated. If no green check mark displays, then the validation failed. Common reasons why a validation would fail include:

·            The GL Accounts/Revenue Accounts dates are not synchronized with the Rates and Pricing dates

·            Failed to select active product status

·            Missing GL account pairs

·            Missing the default rate code (List)

·            Product default rate does not have a price associated with it

Product validation verifies that an inventory product has at least one rate code, a pricing record for the default rate code, and General Ledger account numbers. Products must have a pricing record and Revenue accounts with an effective date equal to or less than the product available date.

You only need to validate the product once, even if a change is made to the product.

To validate the setup:

·            Click Validate Setup from the Product Definition task category.
