    Aside from the links that Para Mehan sent - I would mention one thing that is not always clear for everyone. The posting date for the cost adjustment is et when the "Adjust Cost Item Entries" is run and NOT when the adjustment is posted. So if the user wants the adjustment to happen in a new accounting period they should close the period BEFORE running the "Adjust Cost..." job.

    when you are running adjust cost batch job then system creates the cost price according to your costing method.

    example: As you are using Average costing method

    first you purchase 10 items @ $10 each = 100

    After this you again purchase 10 items @ $12 each = 120

    So now in your inventory there are 20 items. if you run adjust cost batch job then at the time of selling of an item system will take average cost= as 11@ each.

    if you post Boolean ticked then suppose you post sales adjustment but did not run adjust cost batch before posting the order. when you run adjust cost after the sales order posted then system will post remaining amount's entry to GL.

    For example: If Navision takes the cost @12 each of an item but average cost is @11 each and sales adjustment is posted then when adjust cost batch job will run then system will post @ -1 for that.

    One more point if post boolean is unticked and you run adjust cost after posting the sales order then it will effect only inventory value. it will not effect the GL. For GL effect you have to run post inventory cost to GL.

    Hope it clear your doubts.

    Best Regards,
