Parent Child Relationships

Parnet Child calculation should go both ways... If you count the quantity of a child item to the value of its parent then this should populate the parent with the value.



Variance reporting in RMS out of the box is next to useless. the reports should be better structured to handle the structure of parent Child Relations..

I completely agree. Furthermore, the cost is not updated on child items when the parent item is received. So every time I receive a case of coke, I need to adjust to cost of the six-pack and singles. This is virtually impossible with weighted cost inventory and a royal pain even with last cost method.

I was extremely disappointed to learn this about RMS. I don't understand how companies like mine with many hundreds of parent-child items can keep up with manually adjusting child costs... I gave up - now I update costs every 6 months except for new items, which leave me no choice.
