5.0 Upgrade Toolkit bug? [WARNING!!!!]

Alex_Chow

Has anyone noticed that when you upgrade to version 5.0 from 3.7, it changes your Average Cost Calc. Type to Item (instead of whatever it was before)?

Hi, did you notice this problem when you did the upgrade?

Alex_Chow

Ok, problems are starting to surface.

IF you are using Average Cost and IF your Average Cost Calc. Type is Item & Location & Variant, when you upgrade to 5.0. The cost calculation type will be set to ITEM.

At this point, DO NOT RUN ADJUST COST!!! It will calculate your average by ITEM irregardless if you changed the Average Cost Calc. Type to item & location.

This is a problem in the Avg. Cost Adjmt. Entry Point table. I'm currently figuring out a solution for this and will keep you guys posted.

Ok.. I've figured the proper solution for situations like this.

This will only apply if the following is true for your client:
1. They're upgrading from 3.x or 4.x to 5.0
2. They're using average cost
3. They have the Avg. Cost Calc type to Item&Variant&Locatoin

I've written something that will reset the Avg. Cost Adjmt. Entry Point and the Accounting Period (yes, accounting period) table.

I'll put up the code on the download section if anyone is interested.

Hmm... Maybe I should report this to Microsoft?
