Adjust cost job posts entries to prior periods

Hi all,

For a client using NAV 2016, when the adjust cost job is run, entries are being posted for the past periods.

Example, when adjust cost job is run for the month of September 2019, system posts entries to say May 2019 or June 2019.

But for May 2019 & June 2019, adjust cost has already been fully run. In that case, am not sure as to why the system should post an entry for May or June, when the adjust cost job is run for the month of September.

What would cause NAV to post entries like this in the past period?

Anyway in which it can be stopped?

Regards

Sriram

Hello Sriram,

System performs the cost adjustment related with all entries, sometimes we sell some goods which has a cost but if the real cost of goods has been changed after sales posting those sales will need to be adjusted that's why in your customer case, you have cost adjustments posted for previous periods.

In case you don't want to have the cost adjustments posted in previous periods I would suggest you to start using Inventory Periods in this way you will be able to control when the costs adjustments will be posted.

Working with Inventory Periods the costs adjustments related with previous transactions will be always posted in the first day of each month (Inventory period open) without affecting previous periods, this will also one way to ensure a consistent data reporting for previous periods.

Here's a link where you can find some further details how to start working with Inventory Periods: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dynamicsnav-2016/hh168417(v=nav.90)

Hope this can help you to move forward.
