Catch Weight Setup

The following steps cover the settings that must be configured initially for the catch weight extension to perform as expected.

1. Select the Search icon , enter Catch Weight Setup, and then choose the related link.

2. On the General FastTab, fill in the Unit of Measure Code field with the Unit of Measure Code of the Catch Weight items from the dropdown menu.
   This sets up the Catch Weight Unit of Measure.

   Note

   You can pick the Unit of Measure of your choice.

   

   Note

   You cannot change the Catch Weight Unit of Measure if any item is set up as a Catch Weight item.

3. On the Output Cost Revaluation FastTab, in the Reason Code field, select the required code from the drop-down menu. The Reason Code will be used in all the value entries created to revaluate the Catch Weight output costing. For more information, see To adjust the output cost.

   Note

   Once the revaluation value entries are created to correct the cost of the output catch weight item by running the Adjust Output Cost – Item Entries by Weight report, you cannot change the specified reason code on the Catch Weight Setup page. Also, the specified date cannot be changed after running the Adjust Output Cost – Item Entries by Weight report.

4. In the Output Cost Revaluation From Date field, select a date greater than the system’s current date (Today).

Production orders involving the Catch Weight item as the output will undergo revaluation, determining the cost based on the item weight. This revaluation will occur after the specified date in the From Date field.

5. In the From Date field, on the Sales Cost Amount Weight Application FastTab, select the start date for weight-based calculation.

This date acts as a filters on the Item Ledger Entries page, so only records created on or after the selected date will be included in the calculations.
