Dear Community Expert;

I'm desperately seeking for solution.
My client system NAV 2009 (R1)
All Items Costing Method setup as Average
Adjust cost Post to G/L setup to run every night (Nav Job Queue)

The issue is, user have posted Negetive Inventory Adjustment on March 2023, on the same night Cost Adjustment was partilly posted to G/L. The remaining Cost Adjustment was ported to G/L eight month later in Nov 2023. The finance team need explanation on this behavour. Question is why NAV did not pick up entire Cost Adjustment post to G/L on March 2023?

Thank you.

There might not be a straight answer to why nav is behaving this way. Overall, there could be a timing issue with regard to those transactions. You need to look into such cases posted to Nov and analyze if the timing of the transactions is different from other transactions posted in march.

There is always an explanation for what the system does; it’s not an unexplainable black hole that does things at random. Every single thing it does is driven by its source code.

To understand your specific situation, however, we would need the details of all transactions involved, including the negative adjustment transaction and the specifics of the transaction it was applied to. This is one of those cases where having system access to trace the transactions would help as anything we suggest here is just an assumption. For example, the system will post adjustments when a transaction is fully applied. Was your negative adjustment perhaps not fully applied until November? This would explain why the adjustment was posted then.

This may also be caused by customization. Since NAV2009 has been out of support for a long time, you can ask your partners to investigate this issue together.

Thanks.
