Hi.

There is a Posted Purchase Invoice which has been posted to an incorrect Unit Cost.

After checking the relevant Item ledger Entries i have noticed that the relevant Item Ledger Entry that has been created through the Posted Purchase Invoice has been applied for a Sales Shipment and two Sales Invoices.

The Current Costing Method is "AVCO".

What is the best approach to correct this matter.

Your quick response on this is highly appreciated.

Warm Regards

Hello,

You will use the Revaluation Journal to revalue the related Value Entry. Please look into this process.

Hi,

What you should NOT do-

Do not delete or modify Item Ledger Entries

Do not unapply entries manually

Do not change the cost directly on Value Entries

Do not use SQL or configuration packages

These will break costing history and audit integrity.

What you can do -

OPTION 01: Post a correcting Purchase Credit Memo. Make sure Adjust Cost – Item Entries is run after posting both documents.

OPTION 02: Revalue using Item Revaluation Journal. Only possible if some quantity from that purchase is still in inventory.

Hope this helps.

I personally recommend using Purchase Credit Memo.

Correct or cancel unpaid purchase invoices
