Establishing Storage Overhead for an Item Step-by-Step

From any screen in the IN module:
 

1. Type IWAU for the Item Warehouse Area Update (IWAU) screen in the NEXT FUNCTION field. 
2.  Type the item number in the first KEYS field. 
3. Type the warehouse identifier in the second KEYS field. 
4. Press ENTER to access the Item Warehouse Area Update (IWAU) screen. 
5. Choose one of the following two options for entering storage overhead: 
    5a. Type the fixed storage overhead (storage overhead amount) in the STORAGE OVERHEAD AMOUNT field
    5b. Type the variable storage overhead (storage overhead percent) in the STORAGE OVERHEAD PERCENT field. 
      Note: On the Item Warehouse Accounting Update (IWAU) screen, the value in the STORAGE OVERHEAD PERCENT field must be typed in the format 12.3, i.e., two digits to the left and one digit to the right of the decimal place. If the value is not typed in this format, the system will display the following error message: NUMERIC FIELD FORMAT ERROR - 02 DIGITS ARE ALLOWED LEFT OF THE DECIMAL POINT 01 DIGITS ARE ALLOWED TO THE RIGHT - NO UPDATES OCCURRED. 
6. Press ENTER to process the information. The next IWAU screen reappears with the next item-warehouse record for this item. 
    Note: Note that you can also follow steps 2 through 6 on the Item Warehouse Accounting Entry (IWAE) screen. However, you can only use this screen to establish overhead when the item-warehouse link is originally created. If you process the storage overhead information on the Item Warehouse Accounting Entry (IWAE) screen, the Item Warehouse History Entry (IWHE) screen appears after the storage overhead has been entered. Warehouse managers can use this screen to enter item usage history for that warehouse. Press ENTER to clear the IWHE screen. 

    You have completed establishing storage overhead for the item. Customers will now be charged the current average cost plus the overhead for each unit of the item.
