Inventory Summary by Account Distribution (Center)

The Inventory Summary by Account Distribution (Center) (CNTRSUMM) report displays the total value of the inventory maintained in each center in the NCAS. It is a summary of the Inventory Valuation by Center (CNTRVALU) reports for each center.

The Inventory Summary by Account Distribution (Center) (CNTRSUMM) report is used to verify the general ledger asset balances for each center. If a variance exists between the total value of the inventory in a center, which is displayed on this report, and the value for the center in the general ledger, the warehouse manager should refer to the Inventory Valuation by Center (CNTRVALU) report. Using the Inventory Valuation by Center (CNTRVALU) reports for the current and the previous days, the warehouse manager can determine which item in the center accounts for the variance. If the value of an item changed significantly from one day to the next, the warehouse manager should investigate this item as the cause of the variance. To investigate the item, the warehouse manager can check the transactions associated with the item in the Valued Transaction Register by Warehouse (CRVTRW) report.

The Inventory Summary by Account Distribution (Center) (CNTRSUMM) report should be reviewed daily. It is located in RMDS in the report group IN285-6.
