The internal value (COGS) of the stock can be different between the WHS - due to different purchasing prices, freight charges etc in case of a moving average price. Or just because the standard price is set different. > What do you mean by "requirements management"? Demand management, MRP, MPS,....

So there is a different view on stock between finance and plannig. Yes, I know that tryton's MRP module is still under development... Best, Axel -- Dr.-Ing. Axel K.
