Setting Profile Options

Profile	Description	Default	Options	Recommended Change Levels
GMF: Actual Costing Maximum Iteration Limit for Circular Reference	This sets the maximum number of iterations	200	200	Site, Applications
GMF: Actual Cost Process Error Limit	Defines the number of AC Process generated errors at which the system aborts.	1000	Any valid number	Site, Applications, Responsibility, User
GMF: Commit Count in Accounting Pre-Processor	This profile option lets you indicate the frequency of database commits within the Pre-Processor program. A very large value requires a large Rollback Segment space but performs a little faster. A small value requires less Rollback Segment space, but performs a little slower because of frequent commits and memory allocations. The default value of 1000 suffices for normal processing	1000	-	Site
GMF: Copy Item Costs - Copy Recipe Information to Target	Use this profile option to copy over recipe validity rule information to the target periods using the copy item costs program. The profile option can have a value of either Yes or No. If the value is set to Yes, then only the recipe validity rules are copied. The profile value is set to No at the site level.	N	Y = Copy item costs and recipe information to target N = Do not copy item costs and recipe information to targetd	Site, Application, Responsibility, User
GMF: Cost Allocation Factor Calculation	This profile option lets you specify the method for the calculation of batch cost allocation. If you select Static, then the application calculates the batch cost allocations based on the cost allocation factor defined for each product in the production batch formula. This is how the costs were allocated before this enhancement. If you select Dynamic, then the application calculates the batch cost allocations as a ratio of actual quantity of each product produced to the total production batch output quantity	-	Static Dynamic	Site, Application, Responsibility
GMF: Cost Process Message Level Threshold	The Actual Cost process generates a lot of error and warning messages during processing and in a high volume of data environment. The threshold value indicates the type of error messages to log by the process. The valid values are Diagnostic Messages, Warnings, Data Setup Errors, Errors impacting Cost, and Fatal or Internal System errors. It is recommended that you set this to Warnings so that any mistakes can be corrected before further processing.	Diagnostic Messages	Diagnostic Messages Warnings Data Setup Errors Errors impacting Cost Fatal or Internal System Errors	Site
GMF: Costing Tolerance Percent	This profile option is used to specify tolerance percentage for circular reference batches in Actual Costing. It fixes the percentage of the difference in cost between iterations whether or not the costs are converged. For example, if the tolerance percent is set as 0.01%, then during the iterative calculation, if the prior iteration and current iteration produce results that are within 0.01%, then costs are considered as converged.	0.000001	Tolerance percent value	Site, Application, Responsibility, User
GMF: Delete Ingredient Cost When No Effectivity Found	This profile option lets you specify whether the Cost Rollup process must delete or not delete the ingredient costs if no valid validity rules are found.	Yes	No = Does not delete the ingredient costs. Yes = Deletes the ingredient costs when no effectivity is found.	Site
GMF: Exclude Invoices Which Have No Receipts	If this profile option is set to 1, then the Actual Cost process ignores invoices that do not have receipts in the period for which the cost is being calculated. If set to 0, then the Actual Cost process does not exclude invoices that have no receipts.	0	1 0	Site, Application, Responsibility, User
GMF: Exclude Negative Inventory Balance	Use this profile option to ignore zero or negative beginning on-hand inventory during PMAC cost calculations. If the profile value is set to 0, then the actual cost process includes negative or zero onhand quantity in PMAC cost calculations. If the profile value is set to 1, then during the raw material and product cost calculations, the previous period balance and previous period component costs are considered zero for items having zero or negative beginning on-hand inventory quantity.	0	1 0	Site, Application, Responsibility, User
GMF: Include Drop Shipments in Actual Cost	This profile option determines whether drop shipments are included in Actual Cost calculations. The default is Yes. Set the profile to No to ignore drop shipments and only include other transactions in actual cost. It is recommended that you set this profile to Yes.	Yes	Yes No	Site
GMF: Include Inventory Movements in Actual Cost	This profile option lets you control the inclusion of inventory movements in the Actual Cost calculation process. It can be set to Yes or No. The default is No. If it is set to Yes, then the Actual Cost process includes inventory movements in the cost calculation. If it is set to No, then inventory movements are not considered in the cost calculation.	No	Yes No	Site, Applications, Responsibility
GMF: Include Inventory Transfers in Actual Cost	This profile option determines whether Inventory Transfers are included in Actual Cost calculations. The default value is Yes. Set the profile to No, if you want to ignore transfers and only include other transactions in actual cost. It is recommended that you set this profile to Yes.	Yes	Yes No	Site
GMF: Include Invoices in Actual Cost	This profile option controls the inclusion of invoice transactions in the Actual Cost calculation process. This profile option can have a value of either 1 or 0. The default value is 1. If the profile value is set to 1, then the Actual Cost process includes invoice transactions in cost calculations. If the profile value is set to 0, then the invoice transactions are not considered in the cost calculations.	1	1 = Include invoices in cost calculation 0 = Exclude invoices in cost calculation	Site
GMF: Include Production Batches in Actual Cost	This profile option indicates whether production batches are considered in actual cost calculations. The default value is Yes. The profile is for troubleshooting and debugging purposes only. Set to No only if requested by the Oracle Support. It is recommended that you set this profile to Yes.	Yes	Yes No	Site
GMF: Include Receipts in Actual Cost	This profile option determines whether Receipts are included in Actual Cost calculations. The default value is Yes. Set the value to No, only if you want to use invoices and transfers for actual costs. It is recommended that you set this value to Yes.	Yes	Yes No	Site
GMF: Log All Subledger Variances	This profile option calculates variances for all of the three variance types (Scale to Plan, Scale to Actual, Aggregate) and stores them in a separate table for analysis. Refer to "Accounting Setup and Account Processes and Distribution" topics in this guide for more details.	No	No = The subledger variances are not logged to the separate table and only one variance type is calculated as specified in the profile option, GMF: Subledger Variance Type. Yes = The Subledger process calculates variances for all of the three variance types (Scale to Plan, Scale to Actual, Aggregate) and stores them in a separate table.	Site
GMF: Log Frozen Error Messages in Cost Rollup	If an Item's cost is already frozen by a final cost update, then Cost Rollup does not rollup the cost of this item if run again, even if any of the ingredients or routing costs have changed. If you set the profile to Yes, then the application logs a message that an item's cost was not recalculated when it is frozen. The default value is No.	No	No Yes	Site
GMF: Standard Cost Rollup Error Limit	Defines the number of Rollup generated errors at which the system aborts.	1000	Any valid number	Site, Applications, Responsibility, User
GMF: Subledger Variance Type	This profile option contains the variance type which the Subledger process uses to calculate and post variances for the production transactions. Specify any of the above mentioned variance types as a value. Refer to "Accounting Setup and Account Processes and Distribution" topics in this guide for more details.	Scale to Plan	Scale to Plan = Scale the costing formula to planned quantity of the primary product in the batch and compare with the actual batch. Scale to Actual = Scale the costing formula to actual quantity of the primary product in the batch and compare with the actual batch. Aggregate = Calculates Aggregate type variances.	Site
GMF: Use Cost Alloc Factor in Lot Costing	The Lot Cost Process uses the actual quantities yielded or transferred at each production setup to arrive at the cost allocations for co-products. Set this profile to Yes, if you want to use the default cost allocation factor set up for the batch products. The default value is No.	No	No Yes	Site
GMF: Use Only Costing Validity Rules for Cost Rollup	Determines what validity rules to use during the Cost Rollup process. This affects cost calculations. If the profile value is set to 0, then costing validity rules are used if available. Otherwise, the Cost Rollup process uses production validity rules. If the profile value is set to 1, then only costing validity rules are used.	0	0 or 1	Site
GMF: Use PO Acquisition Costs for Invoice	It is not possible to enter the actual freight and other costs at the time of invoicing. If the profile is set to Yes, then Actual Cost picks up the estimated freight and other charges entered at the time of creating a purchase order as applicable to the invoice as well. The default value is No. If the value is set to No, then the Actual Cost does not include these  charges.	No	No Yes	Site
GMF: Use Substitute Items in Standard Costing	This profile option lets you specify whether to use the original formula item or the substitute item in the product cost calculations. If you select No, then the application uses the original item for cost calculations. This is the default value. If you select Yes, use period start date as effective date, then the application uses the substitute item. The most appropriate substitute item is determined using the costing period start date as the effective date. The costing period start date must be within the item substitution's effective start and end date as set up in the OPM Product Development application. If you select Yes, use period end date as effective date, then the application uses the substitute item. The most appropriate substitute item is determined using the costing period end date as the effective date. The costing period end date must be within the item substitution's effective start and end date as set up in the OPM Product Development application.	No	No Yes, use period start date as effective date Yes, use period end date as effective date	Site, Application, Responsibility
