Purchase Return Order - Expected Cost Error

Hi,

When I am trying to POST INVOICE a previously shipped PRO in Microsoft Business Central, I keep running into this error "Expected Cost must be equal to ‘No’ in Value Entry: Entry No.=#######. Current value is ‘Yes"

The Entry # referenced in the error is an entry# that the posting is trying to create, not an existing entry #

The PRO was shipped in a prior period and the inventory period was closed for that period. Do PRO's need to be post-invoiced in the same inventory period that they were post-shipped in? How can we avoid the above error from happening and how can we fix existing PRO's that won't allow us to post them.

Thanks!!!

If this item hasn't been invoked yet, how about undoing it directly on the Purchase Receipt?

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

From Above Problem Statement what i have understood is Purchase Return shipment is processed . You can want to do credit memo . At the time of invoicign from Purchase Return order you are not able to process .

Is it you want to Do Credit memo of Purchase Retrun Shipment . Can you create fresh credit memo and check once .

When we do purchase credit memo , you can use Get Retrun Shipment Lines and do further processing

If stll not sovled then please check that retrun shipment is tagged to any Credit memo

Warm Regards

Hi,

I think you need to provide more details on this.

Can you run the test report or preview posting and analyze the values entries that is getting posted?

If you find any value entry which have entry type other then direct cost and revaluation and if expected cost is true in that line, then that is your issue.

Now you just need to identify why that value entry is posting. Without actual data I can not exactly pinpoint the issue.

Dhiren,

Regards.

Hello,

You’re hitting this because the PRO was shipped in a closed inventory period, and when you try to invoice it, Business Central needs to turn Expected Cost from Yes to No, which is not allowed once the inventory period is closed (this is by design). PROs do not have to be invoiced in the same period they’re shipped, but if Expected Cost Posting to G/L is enabled, BC must adjust expected cost in the original shipment period. To fix existing documents, the clean solution is to temporarily reopen the inventory period, post the invoice, then close it again; alternatively (less ideal), temporarily disable Expected Cost Posting to G/L, post, and re-enable. To avoid this going forward, make sure all shipped-not-invoiced documents are cleared before closing inventory periods.

Regards,
