1,074We ran into some questions with our auditors this year.
We have an item that has a cost of 5.69. The HITB showed the primary site as 5.69 (extended cost divided by quantity), but a secondary site was showing inflated costs of around 9.74.
When I researched I found that a split receipt issue (maybe another post; but basically if a receipt is keyed on a single line and the invoice is split with a portion of the product at zero cost, GP will update the entire receipt layer to zero cost, because it can only have one cost for the receipt), I found that the HITB included duplicated "fixes" for it.
So we have a receipt layer at primary site for zero cost and we have a transfer at secondary site for zero cost. The source of the transfer is the original zero cost receipt. It appears that Adjust Cost Utility was run on both the original receipt and the transfer. So the secondary site appears to have been updated twice.
Once when the original zero cost receipt was corrected, it rippled through to the secondary site; then a second time when the zero cost transfer was adjusted. I did not expect to see that and I plan to enter a test in a dummy company to verify, but curious if this is the case. I expected that when the original zero cost receipt was Adjusted for the "ripple" effect to also update the zero cost Transfer. Maybe it does, but doesn't update the receipt layer exactly. So when inventory reviewed, they saw the zero cost Transfer and tried to adjust it as well?
