Re: MAPICS-L Digest, Vol 9, Issue 50 - For Jeff Snyder from Mike Ellis / ISI

Hey Mike,
 
I highlighted the area of confusion to me in your reply, below.
The only thing I don't get is how you are Crediting the in-transit for 100. (set up a unique intransit WH, 100- STDUC?)  I can see how that would work, and then the $85 to destination WH @ their std. (85).  But how do you generate the variance?
It appears you are suggesting that if the TW 'from' WH is  different from the 'to''  WH with 2 different cost associated, I would get a variance.  But the rules are set for the IW and RW, not the TW?  Do I need to populate the transaction amount in the IW, (plug in $100)  to get the variance to generate?
 
Thanks for your help.  Right now we are just in the investigation stage,  but may model a few choice suggestions.
 
Jeff
