Hi all
I am currently working on implementing HQ 2.0. I have 6 shops that have various years of history. Since each shop was a separate entity at one time we are trying to determine if we should merge the data or start from scratch. If we start from scratch, we plan to archive the old individual databases. Just load only the current items that we carry along with all the correct data.
What I was wondering is what would the impact to our history be if we started from scratch. The one thing that we could come up with was the weighted costs. Based on the explanation for the weighted cost formula - adds the total cost of the unit received plus total cost of the existing units. This total cost is then divided by the total number of units on hand. So is the cost of the existing items based on the cost entered in the PO or is it a running weighted average on the existing items?
Any other impact to the history that we should be aware of?
Thanks much
