Unexpected Inventory Cost Revaluation Entries When Uploading Opening Inventory (Standard Costing)

(4) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 105
Hi,
 
We’re setting up a new legal entity in D365FO using Standard Costing, and I’m currently uploading opening inventory quantities and costs.
 
Here are the steps I followed:
1. Imported and activated standard costs per item (calculated from the legacy system).
2. Imported and posted a new movement journal to upload opening inventory. (active standard cost price applied)
3. Reviewed the voucher generated and noticed unexpected accounting entries.
 
Voucher example:
 
Inventory                               XXX  
   Offset Account                       XXX  
Inventory                               0.01  
   Inventory cost revaluation           0.01  
Inventory cost revaluation              0.01  
   Inventory                            0.01  

The first two lines are expected and correct. However, I don’t understand why the system generated the additional entries involving the Inventory cost revaluation account with small rounding differences (e.g., 0.01).
As far as I know, the Inventory cost revaluation account is typically used when a new costing version is activated to revalue existing on-hand inventory. However, in this case, there was no on-hand inventory prior to posting the movement journal.
 
Question:
Why is the system generating these revaluation entries when uploading opening inventory for standard cost items?
Is there a configuration or rounding logic that could be causing this behavior?
Any insights or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi

    As per my understanding, the revaluation entries you're seeing typically small rounding differences, which are caused by internal precision and rounding logic in D365 F&O when posting inventory transactions under Standard Costing. Even if no prior inventory exists, the system may trigger revaluation entries due to cost recalculation mechanics tied to costing versions and decimal precision.

    Hi Michael,
     
    Can you tell us about the source file of the the standard costs and opening transactions? What tool are you using? Are all amounts pre-rounded to e.g. 2 decimals in the source? In case there is custom logic with calculations, are these prices then rounded before saving into the database?
