Clear Item AccumulatorsApplication Overview
The Inventory Item File contains eight running totals (accumulators), which need to be cleared, from time to time, such as at the start of a new period or a new year, and this application performs that function. This procedure also updates the current period field in I/M Setup.
If you use Clear Item Accumulators application to clear period‑to‑date accumulators then you may not use the Recalculate Reorder Fields application to do forecasting.
When you clear the period-to-date fields, it will move the current period amounts in the Inventory Item File to the Inventory History File, and update the current period. By clearing these period-to-date fields during your period ending procedures, a history report and a history graph may be created which depicts PTD quantity sold, PTD Sales Amount, PTD usage and PTD cost amount.
