Hello there
I have noticed that for a given invoice in my SalesHistory table (OESHDT) the QtySold=110. But then when I go to my PostingJournal (OEAUDD) for that invoice I only have a QtyShipped = 98. So am I correct in thinking:
1. When I sell something (that is I generate an invoice), immediately that something is put into the SalesHistory table
2. Only when I ship (ie release items) to my customer, does that item get recorded in the PostingJournal (OEAUDD)
3. If the sum(QtySold) in my SalesHistory table > sum(QtySHipped) in my PostingJournal... that means I have sold items that I am yet to ship
4. Assuming I am on the "Standard Costing" method, the cost of the item I am selling only truly gets reflected once I ship it (*not* when I sold it). That is to say, I can indeed get a COGS in my SalesHistory table (but many times it is zero), but the cost reflected in my PostingJournal - - - am I correct that it is more accurate?
Is my understanding correct or am I so far off the path the earth may as well flat? (its feeling like that :) )
