I am trying to delete a stock item from a specific warehouse on screen IWD.  When I am finished, the item is till there.  Even if I wait until the next day, the item is still associated with the warehouse. First of all, the IWD screen does not work real-time.  The items deleted on this screen are actually deleted via batch processing during the nightly cycle.  Even then, the item will not be deleted if the system detects an open order or cycle count for the item at that warehouse.  If the delete does not work, use the system inquiry screens to search for open orders or cycle counts.  If the item is still appearing on cycle count sheets, change the Allocation Preference (A/P field) on screen IWU to "M".  This will prevent the item from appearing on future cycle count sheets.  Once the old orders and counts have all been closed and purged, you can delete the item/warehouse record.
I do not understand Inventory accounting.  I need to know exactly what the debits and credits will be for every inventory transaction. Stock items are placed into groups of like items, and a range of accounting defaults (called event IDs) are assigned to each group.  The Accounting Activities Table lists each type of inventory transaction and the assigned default event IDs, as well as the accounting rules to be applied from FC.  The NCAS accounts corresponding to event IDs can be viewed on screen GAI.
How do we handle taxable freight? Instead of entering freight in the FREIGHT field on the IWS-1T screen or the IMP screen, enter the freight as one or more invoice lines.  If there is more than one line that should be charged freight, then you will be entering more than one line.  The amount of the freight should be charged to the same accounting distribution(s) as the taxable goods.  Make sure the tax prorate flag is set to 'Y' for the invoice line(s) and 'N' for the freight line(s).
